<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 2518981, member: 19463"]This question assumes that the cuts were made in a way that removed metal. I always assumed they were cut with a sharp tool and the spaces opened up when the coin was struck. Not removing metal would make no reduction in weight. To my eye, the cuts are too erratic and clean to have been made in mold. If they made a master mold, I would expect them to have cut more evenly.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
