<p>[QUOTE=&quot;l.cutler, post: 8064186, member: 13318&quot;]The blanks were cut from sheets much like today, except of course the machinery was man powered instead of hydraulic!&nbsp; Many of the state coinages were minted at different locations, and with no actual records the coins themselves are the only evidence of where they were minted.&nbsp; Along with punch linkage, planchet cutters are sometimes used to help identify the mint.&nbsp; There is at least one distinctive burred cutter that was used quite extensively and is a diagnostic for determining the coin&#039;s origin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
