Its a process where a metallic powder is magnetically charged to another surface and then heat is used to adhere the powder. (Xerography?) Supposedly, copper dust is the powder and the annealing ovens are the heat source. When a coin passes through the annealing process normally, nothing happens but when the planchet gets &quot;stuck&quot; in the annealing ovens, then the sintering occurs.</p><p><br /></p><p>Of course, this theory was debunked back when the same thing occurred with the Presidential Dollars and Chris Pilliod stated that it was more of an &quot;improper alloy mix&quot;. PCGS uses both terms.</p><p><br /></p><p>6 or 1 or half dozen of another.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
