<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mikjo0, post: 106263, member: 3565&quot;]Bone,</p><p>I saw the program you&#039;re talking about.It was a documentary on the Tower of London and the crown jewels.One thing I found interesting was that he used two dies,the top one of which had a collar that fit over the bottom die,preventing misaligned strikes.Now I wonder how off centered ones ever occured.Did the planchet slip to one side during the strike or what?</p><p>I also noticed that he would throw them back into the melting pot shortly after striking them and start all over again so maybe it was just a demonstration of the process and not the manufacture of replicas for sale.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
