<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 226695, member: 112&quot;]As I suspected, we are, in a way, talking about two different things. I was talking about hubs being re-done because the original wore out. That can be the cause for a weak design on a coin, but only after considerable wear, and even then it is only a contributing factor. Die wear and strike pressure have far more to do with it.</p><p><br /></p><p>And the quality of strike for a Proof coin as compared to a business strike has nothing to do with the hub - the dies for both the Proof and business strike are made from the same single hub. The reason the design is more clear and detailed on a Proof coin is because the Proof coin is struck with a higher pressure than the business strikes are and because Proof coins are always struck two or more times whereas a business strike is only struck once.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
