<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sunbird, post: 8280255, member: 116324&quot;]Right, agreed, never said there&#039;s a change in volume. Note however that the mint says the strip or planchettes arrive the same thickness as the final coins, which is confusing. They say only the diameter of the blanks is different – larger – and this gets reduced by the upsetting mills. The thickness of the coin must increase at the edge due to the upsetting, so I don&#039;t know what they mean. And the main body or field should get thinner when struck, since the design is flowing up from it into the die.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
