<p>[QUOTE=&quot;usmc60, post: 2737235, member: 76739&quot;]You know I was surprised at first when I read that definition. For 18 years now I&#039;ve always assumed that a first strike coin, where the coins that were first struck off the press. I personally like to call these cold strike. Heated planchet cold die. This only happens in business strikes for less than the first minute that the presses in production.</p><p><br /></p><p>Then due to friction the die heats up with a little help from a hot planchet, as I mentioned in my other thread these cold strikes are going to have a totally different. Appearance.</p><p><br /></p><p>And considering the millions of coins that are produced in a production run these kind of coins will fall under a very low percentage. But they are out there and I&#039;ve been finding them for years. Not all the time here and their since there&#039;s such a low percentage of them. USMC60[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
