<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 51703, member: 66&quot;]It&#039;s counter-intuitive but the auction has it backwards.&nbsp; The shorter rolls are the result of LOWER pressure strikes, not higher pressure.&nbsp; They think that a high pressure strike would result in a thinner coin, but actually a high pressure strike results in the rims being more fully struck up and since the coins stack on the rims 40 coins with full rims gives you a taller stack than 40 coins with lower weakly struck rims.</p><p><br /></p><p>As evidence look at the edge of a proof coin as compared to a business strike coin.&nbsp; Both are struck from planchets of the same size and weight but the proof is struck twice and at higher pressure.&nbsp; You will see that the proof coins are MUCH wider at the edge than the business strikes.&nbsp; So HIGH pressure gives you longer rolls.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
