<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jamie s pieper, post: 3235790, member: 99149&quot;]A cent planchet dropped into place and was struck between hammer and anvil dies, but it was not ejected. Instead, it remained stuck inside the coining chamber, most likely adhering to the anvil die. A new planchet was fed into the press and it, too, was struck, though not by both dies. Instead it was struck by one die — the hammer, probably — and by the stuck cent, now serving as a die cap. This new cent failed to be ejected but was bonded to the first cent. New planchets were fed into the press one by one, over and over, with the same unintended result, as coins began to be bonded together in what was becoming a massive cluster of cents.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
