<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 205901, member: 66&quot;]A blank as punched from the strip will have a flat smooth surface.&nbsp; After it is put through the upsetting machine it will have a slightly raised rim around the edge of the planchet and the surface will appear tpo dish down around the edge and thenbe flat across most of the face of the planchet.</p><p><br /></p><p>The coin we have in question here&nbsp; was not struck, and then was put through the edge lettering machine.&nbsp; In effect it has had the edge of the blank upset twice, the first time raising a rim and the second time <b>increasing </b> the height of that rim while impressing the letters into the edge.&nbsp; For that reason the dishing from the rim down to the flat faces of the coin is greater than that seen on a normal unstruck planchet.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
