<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 141955, member: 66&quot;]I would like to get one eventually just as an example of a process the mint engages in as part of their overall processes.&nbsp; I would like a piece of the blanked strip for the same reason.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Could be an interesting exhibit, raw&nbsp; metal (pieces of metal),&nbsp; rolled into strip and blanks cut from it (Blanked strip and a few blanks), Blanks converted to planchets (planchets with their upset edges), and struck into coins (some struck coins, maybe a die or two).&nbsp; Some things can go wrong (example of a few error coins such as clips, off center, double struck), and how the mint &quot;cancels&quot; the errors they catch before sending them back to the metal processors for recycling (a couple of waffled pieces).&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>While most collectors focus just on one thing the mints do, strike coins.&nbsp; There is much more to the whole process and some of us are interested in every aspect of it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
