zeewool Pillar of the Community 3660 Posts	Posted 10/14/2010 12:12 am Yes, that is pretty obvious despite this guy's explanation of Quote: Rolling fold: These planchets are punched with a damaged blanking die, leaving a raised piece of metal on the edge of the planchet. This is not extra metal as the weight of these planchets is the correct weight for the coin. This raised piece is folded over in the upsetting mill and then struck in the coining press.

He also lives nearby--I hope I don't meet him at a club meeting I imagine he's difficult to discuss varieties with. Report this Post to the Staff
DavidZerbato Pillar of the Community United States 1081 Posts	Posted 10/14/2010 5:02 pm This just shows how much I still have to learn. I was looking at the coin and by the amount of pics he had and the "rolling fold" explanation, it seemed legit to me. Report this Post to the Staff
