<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 1302078, member: 15199&quot;]Yes, that is the question. At first I thought it was a dryer coin, but I haven&#039;t seen a dryer coin or a spooned coin that wasn&#039;t rounder/enlarged at the rim. A smaller foreign planchet would not ( I think) form the rim as well. I think there would be lesser metal to squeeze that far for complete rims.The weight would indicate a copper clad zinc cent if. The reverse shows a thin layer of metal that seems to be pushed or drawn to the center, so I search my knowledge for a way to do that, and the electromagnetic contraction process came about. Yes, their coins for sale are excellent dwarfs, but they are using expert equipment and long periods of experimentation. I would guess they ruined many coins before they eventually go to that point. </p><p><br /></p><p>In order , I would think a dryer or similar type of process rotating the coin. Then the others. But, it has/is PMD.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
