<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 1409365, member: 66&quot;]The article leaves me with some questions.&nbsp; I was unaware of the mint having strip prepared by outside firms in 1967.&nbsp; I thought they were making their own strip.&nbsp; If they were only do ing their own then the strip would have had to come from the mint because they probably would be recycling the metal in house.</p><p><br /></p><p>Of course with the ongoing coin shortage they were probably getting strip from outside sources as well.&nbsp; The next question would be whether or not the outside firm was providing strip or finished planchets as they do today.&nbsp; If they were supplying strip then the webbing may have come from the Mint, or it could be webbing sent back by the mint to the manufacturer.&nbsp; If they bought strip then the webbing sent back was probably sold back to the manufacturer and did not belong to the mint.&nbsp; (Once again this is standard procedure todaye)&nbsp; Likewise if they were supplied with planchets then again the webbing probably never belonged to the Mint.&nbsp; Neither would the undelivered planchets.</p><p><br /></p><p>Since the article states the material was taken from the manufacturer, the chances are good that they did not belong to the Treasury Dept but to Chase Brass.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
