What happens with an oversized planchet?

<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 7791594, member: 66"]My knowledge on this mostly comes from the old vertical coining presses, but after the previous coin was struck the anvil die rises forcing the coin out of the collar. Next the feed fingers move forward pushing the struck coin out and placing the next planchet over the face of the anvil die. The die retracts and the planchet falls into the coining chamber. In the case of a blank (Not a planchet, a planchet is smaller than the opening in the collar and drops in easily) the fingers have pretty much centered it over the anvil die but when the die retracts the blank does not just drop into the chamber (because it is basically the same size as the hole.). It may drop in on one side, or drop but be wedged at an angle, or it might even remain perfectly suspended above the chamber with it rim resting on the top edge of the collar. Then the hammer die come down and bam, forces the blank down into the chamber.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
