coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/24/2018 1:28 pm Correct. That is why it passes behind the devices and rim....... You've figured it out. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/24/2018 1:39 pm Well that wasn't what I meant. LOL But your comment did make me laugh out loud. Now you have learned something new today. But just not you, but others as well that followed this discussion. Maybe they will chime in and thank you for this question. You get an 'A' today...

Jim0815 Pillar of the Community United States 5239 Posts	Posted 02/24/2018 2:07 pm Thank you! I had a pretty good teacher. @coop, I've ran machine presses for years. 8 ton all the way to 32 ton presses. I think if I ever learn the whole process it will be a lot easier for me to determine what, if anything is wrong with a coin just by looking.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/24/2018 2:24 pm It takes a lot of patience to figure out how the machine works, how the dies work, the striking process, ejection process. Then when you get that all down, sometimes the machine just breaks down, throwing a new curve ball at you. Then factor in the creation of the coin, the die process of making them, the heating/tempering of metals, coins and scrap. And then factor operator error, die fatigue, die breakdown, and on and on. That is why the site err-ref.com is a good source to see what comes out the other end of the process. You could spend a lifetime reading over there. But it makes it simple with an explanation and a lot of images. Report this Post to the Staff
