<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cpm9ball, post: 3482980, member: 24633&quot;]I noted in Roger Burdette&#039;s book,<b> &quot;From Mine to Mint&quot;</b> (pages 54-55) that Franklin Peale&#039;s steam-powered coin press of 1835 required some modifications to the iron press castings that had to be bought from various manufacturers. As a result, it was often necessary to adjust the dies in the press by a master press operator and depended on the characteristics of the metal being struck.</p><p><br /></p><p>Do you think that these adjustments may have had something to do with the variations in the strike of each coin?</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
