<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1786234, member: 26302&quot;]From what little I have read on the issue, we don&#039;t know for sure but believe many silver and gold flans were cast before striking, but not in strips like bronze. THey were more likely cast into individual forms, cooled, and then removed. With PM you could afford to have beeter weight control than with bronze, since bronze was a token coinage anyway.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>So, having said that, its possible to have a touch of extra metal on the edges of a PM coin, but its not common since they always wanted tight controls of the weight of these.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
