<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Burgess, post: 8173421, member: 105098&quot;]I was thinking the same, the elevation, the temp required for boiling, melting ect. , but then I thought... (is 5000 ft or so difference in elevation really going to be significant difference on coin presses that are set for 35-80 metric tons strike pressure?) I&#039;m not so sure. I mean a mile elevation is significant, I think Philly is somewhere around 50 ft on average.</p><p>I&#039;m in South Florida which is around 9 ft elevation and it&#039;s a significant struggle going to Denver from here, discomforting, &quot;struggle&quot; might be too strong a word, it&#039;s significant, but does it matter with all that strike pressure? seems like the elevation issue would be negated but I&#039;m not a physicist or whatever. LOL</p><p><br /></p><p>Fun fact I found out today I didn&#039;t know about those 5 ounce silver America the Beautiful coasters the mint makes, they are struck on its own press that uses 540 metric tons of force.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
