Sir I have dyslexia and I cannot spell I&#039;ve had this all my life. I rely on voice recognition. And sometimes voice recognition does not recognize the words correctly. My mistake and I admit it I do don&#039;t check my words as often as I should, so words do get misspelled.</p><p><br /></p><p>And Sir it&#039;s quite apparent that you&#039;ve never ran across some of these coins, which I find surprising over the many years that you been in business.</p><p><a href="https://www.cointalk.com/members/fred-weinberg.86437/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/members/fred-weinberg.86437/">Fred Weinberg</a>&nbsp; What&#039;s not surprising to me a big majority of people that are in this hobby have a limited understanding of the steel that is used to make dies.[ATTACH=full]710428[/ATTACH] And people that have work with hardened steel in their life have a little better understanding of what the steel is capable of and what is not.This is a basic understanding of dies that most people learn about.</p><p>I have found even the professionals know very little about steel. It&#039;s not part of the learning process in NUMISMATIC studies.Here&#039;s one little trivia fact the steel in dies actually gets harder the longer the die is in use. True or false.And another simple question what occurs when you have a hot planchet and cold steel what chemical reaction happens.</p><p><br /></p><p>Sir on occasion when I&#039;m at breakfast on the weekend I like having a little fun. Let&#039;s just say I&#039;ll take one of these first hit planchet&#039;s, put it with three other quarters lay them on the counter and have an individual pick out the different quarter.</p><p>And 100% yes I said 100% of the time all individuals pick out the first hit quarter out of three.Since you your uncomfortable with first strike I will use first hit.</p><p>And Sir when the technician at the mint sets up a press with new dies. I would say the first 10 planchet struck out of this press would be considered cold Strike coins.</p><p>What I mean by this you have a new die. the machine&nbsp; just started up that die is still at whatever the ambient temperature is. Then you have a preheated planchet hot. These first coin struck her with a cold die, this is where the question comes up what happens when you have hot metal and cold metal what happens.</p><p>Sir this is where them first hit planchet&#039;s coins usually end up&#039;[ATTACH=full]710429[/ATTACH] At the bottom of the pile. Sir I&#039;m talking less than 10 coins out of thousands.Sir I totally agree with you when you&#039;re talking thousands of commercial coins, nothing special about them. But out of them thousands the first ones hit are the planchet&#039;s or coins that I&#039;m talking about.</p><p>A extremely small amount of coinage. Because within the first minute to five minutes that press is up to operating temperatures. So it does not take long for a hot die and I hot planchet gives you the basic commercial coinage. And Sir with your knowledge you should know this.And like I said Mr. Weinberg coin world has had articles about this. That&#039;s what surprises me that you&#039;re not aware of this.</p><p>And Sir other members on this forum have found them just like the member up at the top of this thread with the Kennedy.</p><p><a href="https://www.cointalk.com/members/fred-weinberg.86437/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/members/fred-weinberg.86437/">Mr. Fred WeinbergSir I don&#039;t know what to say it&#039;s unfortunate that you have never come across one of these coins. But I myself have several. and&nbsp; it seems other members have some to. Sir they do exist.</a>&nbsp; USMC60[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
