<p>[QUOTE=&quot;19Lyds, post: 2037610, member: 15929&quot;]I do not recall where I saw it but the coins are hot as they come off the press as indicated by the interviewer.</p><p><br /></p><p>True, stamping a single coin a single time may not generate that much heat. BUT, stamp millions of coins at 600 coins per minute and the dies get pretty hot with that heat being transferred to the coin. Of course this doesn&#039;t even take into consideration that the blanks are heated to begin with in order to receive a good impression. I&#039;ve always felt that a good number of the serious hits and dings that coins receive are from being dropped into storage/shipping/ballistic bags immediately after the minting process when the coins are still warm.</p><p><br /></p><p>Besides, anything above 98.6 degree&#039;s is going to fell warm. Anything above 130 degrees, which is no where near melt temperature, is going to feel hot.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
