<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 1351234, member: 66&quot;]Basically you are asking can two planchets enter the coining chamber at the same time and be struck so that you have two one sided coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>Yes it can happen.&nbsp; The struck side of each coin will have an extremely strong strike and I would expect the rim on the anvil side coin to be fully struck up and possibly squared off.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The hammer side coin will quite possibly show a partial collar strike all the way around because with two planchets in the coining chamber the upper one will probably not be fully restrained by the collar.&nbsp; The rim may not be fully formed because the metal can move outward rather than filling the rim.</p><p><br /></p><p>The blank sides of the two coins will NOT be flat and smooth and where the blank sides meet the edge they will be uneven with high and low areas as you go around the coin.&nbsp; This is because the metal as it expands and reaches the rim will try to move toward the hammer die for the anvil coin and toward the anvil die for the hammer coin.&nbsp; Since it will not reach&nbsp; the collar at the same time all the way around&nbsp; in some areas the metal will move down and in others it will move up.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
