<p>[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 1651890, member: 112"]I understood what you were talking about, I'm just somewhat skeptical that it happens to that degree. Think of it this way, sure there has to be some heat generated by the strike, but how much ? So perhaps there is not enough heat to cause significant expansion. I'm asking because when coins like Proof ASE's are struck (and with a lot more pressure) they are removed by hand, and if the coin was that hot it would be kind of tough to do that. </p><p><br /></p><p>Now I have no idea what the actual numbers are and couldn't begin to calculate results even if I did. I'm just thinking of it from a common sense standpoint. And of course it's also possible that the spec diameter is based on final results, as you mentioned earlier - again I don't know.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
