<p>[QUOTE=&quot;huntsman53, post: 63554, member: 1242&quot;]The extra piece of metal or cud can sometimes get stuck to or just fall onto the planchet throughout any one of the processes from the punching out the planchet to entering the collar for striking. However, the most common method for this to occur is that during the minting (striking) process, pieces of metal (cuds) from previous minted coins get stuck to the dies or fall onto the next coin in the process and get pressed into the coin. Another method is when the planchet is improperly punched out and has an extra piece of metal sticking out from the edge or rim which gets folded over the rim and even onto the surface of the coin (if the piece is fairly large) when the coin is placed in the collar and struck.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Frank[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
