As a general rule, I use (roughly) 150 strikes per minute and a 250,000 coin lifespan for any given die. These are the roughest of estimates, of...
I have every confidence in ICG's capabilities with Classics, and none at all in their capabilities with Moderns.
That is an impressive level of die wear for 2015; you'd think they would have better control of die life by now. Perhaps it didn't harden properly...

It's a shame Lost Dutchman's stuff doesn't coincide with my collecting interests (or my budget :P ). After your story, I want to swing them some...

A righteous and normally-aligned chin clash on a Lincoln is located in the third bay of the Memorial from the right, and the point of the chin is...
Look at the trouble the TPG's are having, getting enough qualified World graders. NGC has had a standing job offer for them for years.
Your "Incandescent" setting likely works for the circumstances of the above pics - that yellowish cast is usually an artifact of Tungsten...
Ain't nuthin' in a slab difficult for a Dremel. :)
