There is probably a fairly wide range of temperatures that planchets can be from below freezing to as much as about 100 degrees.&nbsp; Most will be near room temperature but the range could be significant.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve always wondered what conditions have to exist for a perfect Gem to be minted.&nbsp; Of course a few more of these are produced than just what leaves the mint.&nbsp; These coins can be virtually non-existent for some dates.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
