<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 7556622, member: 112&quot;]I&#039;m gonna add one more thing to this discussion.</p><p><br /></p><p>One last thing for you to consider. Just for the hell of it let&#039;s assume that the planchet was damaged pre-strike. That somehow something gouged, scraped, cut - choose your word - into the planchet leaving that beveled metal, at that specific angle, in places. OK ?</p><p><br /></p><p>Now then, what actually happens to the metal, in the raised areas like the devices and legends ? The metal is forced into the die recesses by the pressure right ? That much is undeniable.</p><p><br /></p><p>But here&#039;s the kicker, when the metal moves and starts to fill the die recesses, it does not move in flat and stable plane. It moves in an uneven plane, its top surface becomes lumpy and bumpy as it starts to move, it doesn&#039;t stay flat, it changes shape completely and totally because it&#039;s being squeezed from below. And that makes it impossible for any pre-existing angle in the metal caused by a gouge or whatever to be maintained at that flat, and specific angle.</p><p><br /></p><p>And that Mike means it&#039;s impossible for those angles, those bevels, to have been cut into the metal pre-strike.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
