<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 345837, member: 66"]The larger planchet would also not fit through the feed tubes that feed planchets to the press, and the feed fingers won't pick up the larger planchet either. This means the larger planchet can't get to the coining chamber either. There are only two ways it could happen. If the press had been set up for striking a larger coin and then retooled for a smaller one, there is the possibility at a larger planchet may still be stuck somewhere in the press which could come loose and some how bouce around until it reached the coining chamber (assuming it doesn't fall out first). The second and more likely way is with the help of the press operator.</p><p><br /></p><p>I can't think of any examples of a small coin struck on a larger planchet.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
