coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/28/2018 4:51 pm Die chips. There is no excessive metal The planchet starts out with the weight it is supposed to have and the metal just moved around on the die. So the chip is not extra metal, just the amount it started off with. Report this Post to the Staff
