<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hobo, post: 620241, member: 11521&quot;]Floyd? I&#039;ve been called worse! :mouth:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Let me try to clarify how missing clad layer coins occur. Coin strip is made with a copper core sandwiched in between two layers of copper-nickel. The blanks are punched out of the coin strip. Sometimes one or both copper-nickel layers is missing near the end of the coin strip and blanks that are punched out there will be missing a clad layer. These blanks with a missing clad layer go through the upset mill the same as the other blanks to become planchets. These missing-clad-layer planchets are then stuck into coins like all the other planchets but they become coins with a missing clad layer. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The important thing I am trying to get across to you is the clad layer was missing all along. The die did not strip off the clad layer when the coin was struck. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Does that make sense, Harvey?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
