<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 1652249, member: 66"]The coin does get hot during striking but not that hot. From images of the coins being struck you can see that it is not hot enough to cause a color change in the metal. It is enough to burn your hand directly after striking but not hot enough to raise a blister. So first degree burns but not second degree. Probably 200 degrees at the most. I don't know where the 38.5 mm diameter came from, the diameter is 38.1 mm. The variation in the Morgans posted earlier from greatest to smallest was .07 mm That is 3/1000ths of an inch. Three of the four are slightly smaller than the spec 38.1 mm, but the smallest one at 38.07 is only 1/1000th of and inch off. The .25 mm that the OP coin is off is 1/100 of an inch, ten times as much. (I would assume the one Morgan at 38.14 must have come from a worn collar, just over 1/1000 of an inch too large.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
