[QUOTE="Hobo, post: 1122314, member: 11521"]The coins should stack so long as the relief is not higher than the rims. Modern US clad coins do not have pure nickel layers. Modern US clad coins are composed of two outer layers of cupro-nickel (75% copper & 25% nickel) with a core of pure copper. So the outer layers of a modern US clad coin are the exact same composition as the five cent coin. If they use a computer to "create that hand engraved large die" (I assume you are talking about the Master Hub) it would not be hand-engraved, would it?[/QUOTE]
