<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rrdenarius, post: 3661105, member: 75525&quot;]I think the answer lies in the difficulty of the process and the minting goals. I think they were worried about the number of coins per pound (As) of silver and number of coins produced per day. Coins that were off center, brokage, unevenly struck or from worn dies circulated for a long time. The brokage below circulated a long time (note how the innie has more hair details than the outie).</p><p>[ATTACH=full]984330[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]984331[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>See the recent posting on minting tools. It would be hard, and dangerous, to hold a small, hot flan; the punch die and strike with a small pointed hammer.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/bankers-marks-juno-moneta.344581/#post-3655709" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/bankers-marks-juno-moneta.344581/#post-3655709">https://www.cointalk.com/threads/bankers-marks-juno-moneta.344581/#post-3655709</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
