<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 1448274, member: 66&quot;]Actually they will NOT be flat and totally smooth especially when you get to the edges.&nbsp; The planchets will not expand exactly evenly&nbsp; all the way around,&nbsp; This means that in some areas the upper planchet will reach the collar first and in others the lower planchet will get there first.&nbsp; When this happens whichever one gets there first will flatten against the collar and force it&#039;s way toward the other one.&nbsp; The result will be a blank side with an uneven rising and falling edge as you go around the circumference.&nbsp; In some areas the rise will terminate in a sharp edge.&nbsp;&nbsp; (If both planchets aren&#039;t exactly centered each will show a raised flange around one half of the coin and depressed edge around the other half.&nbsp; In either case you will not have a totally flat and smooth side.) Also the anvil coin is show an incredibly sharp strike.&nbsp; The hammer coin will also show a sharp strike but will also usually exhibit a partial collar strike because the second planchet can&#039;t fit all the way down inside the collar.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
