It tries to fouce things into recongizable patterns and are seeing things which aren't there. When you tell someone what they are supposed to be seeing and where it will then predispose others to see the same thing. (The pattern recognition centers of the brain have been told what to expect and so they find it.) Report this Post to the Staff

Incorrect, the blanks are punched from alloy sheets- there is no casting involved in the coin minting process. Quote: What type of Die was used for the bronze planchets versus the prior copper planchets? I do not even understand your question Bronze planchets had been in use since 1864, copper planchets were only used for large cents. Quote: I highly doubt the equipment was scrapped the government back in the late 19th century probably reused a lot of the Dahlonega equipment and were probably installed in the new Denver Mint back in 1906. The Dahlonega Mint was controlled by the Confederate Government during the Civil War. I cannot say for sure but I would bet that anything of use in the mint building was repurposed for the war effort once the Confederates figured out that they did not have the capability to mass produce coinage. The building sat abandoned until 1873 when it became the campus of North Georgia College. The Dahlonega Mint equipment was installed in 1837, there is virtually no chance they recycled any of that ancient decrepit equipment for the new Denver Mint. Report this Post to the Staff
