<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cpm9ball, post: 1340386, member: 24633&quot;]How much time must elapse from strike to withdrawal of the hammer die before it is considered post mint? 1 sec? 1/10th sec? 1/10000 sec? I think you&#039;re being too picky. The coin is still in the coining chamber and has yet to be ejected.</p><p><br /></p><p>A lamination defect is not a good example. It can occur as the blanks are being punched from the sheet metal, while in the upsetting mill or even as it is being struck in the coining chamber.</p><p><br /></p><p>Granted, a proof coin might accidentally be damaged by a Mint employee assembling the sets and this would probably be considered post-strike damage, but isn&#039;t it still in possession of and within the confines of the Mint? I think it would be so much easier, as a definition, to say that post-Mint damage occurs after the coin has left the control of the Mint.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
