Can you expand on that and not to put you to work but any good pictures out there? Very interesting. Report this Post to the Staff
lcutler Pillar of the Community United States 1657 Posts	Posted 10/23/2017 6:35 pm Because the coins were struck without a collar, whatever irregularities were on the edge of the unstruck planchet remain on the coin. Sometimes the planchet cutter was dull or damaged leaving evidence on the edge of the coin. The edges were also somewhat rounded unlike the squared off edges on todays coins. I am sure I have seen studies on planchet cutters in the Colonial Newsletter, C4 newsletter or books but can't really remember where. Report this Post to the Staff
