<p>[QUOTE="chascat, post: 4092457, member: 76792"]Agreed, but they exist in such few numbers that much improvement was needed to make decent examples at a higher rate. They had to overhaul their habits by making more and better dies and using them on fewer strikes before re-working the dies. Instead of striking only 15 or 20 coins per die, they probably made hundreds causing many more poorer strikes than nicer ones. Weather or not mint practices were poor technique or economic, they made a swift recovery and by late 1950 into 1952 and onward, used the same practices up until 1964.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
