<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Insider, post: 2294106, member: 24314&quot;]That is a very good point and caused me to learn something new in the last ten minutes!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I have seen the rolling mills up close and personal at the Philadelphia Mint.&nbsp; At the time they were not in operation.&nbsp; I have only seen drawings of a &quot;drawing bench.&quot; One is shown in Roger Burdette&#039;s book From Mine to Mint.&nbsp; Rollers appear on the bed of this device also!! I never considered that until you brought it up; but it made sense and is confirmed by the drawing in the book.&nbsp;&nbsp; If those rollers are worn (micro grooved at the least), they could leave striations on the strip also.&nbsp; I need to know the answer. HELP out there?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Still the MOST IMPORTANT concept in this discussion is the total originality of the weak strike, and mint made striations on your beautiful coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
