Specially prepared planchets are struck by polished dies producing a mirror finish. The planchets are also struck at least twice to ensure that the design is clear and sharp. Note: Coins produced for normal circulation are struck just once. The Mint did not start using plastic cases for the proof sets until 1968.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
