Spence Moderator United States 34419 Posts	Posted 11/10/2021 06:33 am Amazing to me that it seems to have circulated significantly. As you say it must have been common enough then that folks weren't setting them aside when they saw them.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/10/2021 11:10 am Makes me wonder if they during that time period, flattened the edge of the stock material to make it load in the machine easier? Thus the thinning of that metal on the starting point? Thus the thinned planchets? I just can't figure out how the could happen, unless they had metal back then that have varying thickness issues? It doesn't appear to a lamination issue. Report this Post to the Staff

So if you knew the direction of the dies to the stock you could determine if it was an leading/trailing edge issue or just the whole long edge of the roll. Report this Post to the Staff
