The hub is what is used to make a die. A master hub is used to make a master die which is in turn used to make working hubs. A working hub is used to make working dies.

The blanks are run through an upset mill which raises a rim on the blanks which are then known as planchets. The planchets are fed into the coin press and are struck by the dies to make coins. So the hubs have nothing to do with whether a planchet is missing a clad layer. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Also, the planchets are fed into the coining press oriented randomly. The missing clad layer has an equal chance of being on the obverse as it does on the reverse.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
