: If the coins don't get denser, then they can't be shrinking. Moreover,
: is
: it not the case that the process is stripping away the surface of the
: coins, in an even manner, thus retaining the features but in a reduced
: size? The coil's disintegration is doing something other than
: compressing the coin, it is ablating the coin's surface in a uniform
: manner.
: Hi Lloyd,
: That's a relatively common first impression. In reality, as the coin's
: diameter is reduced, its thickness correspondingly increases in such a
: manner that the coin's total volume remains the same. Even though the
: work coil explodes and portions of the coil vaporize, there's no
: ablation of the coin. It has been demonstrated numerous times that the
: coin's mass remains the same. Thus the density and specific gravity of
: the coin also remain the same. See Figure 4 in the following
: MintErrorNews article to see the thickening effect:

: Although it may be hard to believe, it's only the invisible, but
: extremely powerful, magnetic fields interacting between the coin and the
: work coil that cause the coin to shrink as the work coil simultaneously
: explodes: action and reaction. On more valuable coins I sometimes use a
: thin plastic sleeve between the work coil and the coin to prevent
: vaporized copper and copper oxide from condensing onto the surfaces of
: the coin. This delicate plastic sleeve remains intact after the
: explosion, demonstrating that any compressive forces from the hot gases
: and plasma of the exploding coil are quite small. The powerful magnetic
: fields pass through the plastic sleeve as though it wasn't there.
: It's only the invisible, but irresistably strong, magnetic fields that
: do all the work to reshape the coin.
: Best regards,
