<p>[QUOTE=&quot;eddiespin, post: 25501882, member: 4920&quot;]Yes, a worn or &quot;deteriorated&quot; die will sustain damage, and that damage is on the die, itself, and imparted from the die to the planchet. But this is the time when we want to consider the rationale behind collecting die doubling. We collect it because it&#039;s an error in the die-making process, and not because it&#039;s an attribute of wear in the use of the die. There are a lot of such attributes of wear in the use of a failing die. Another, most notably, is the wrinkled, stressed-out fields. Those aren&#039;t errors, but rather the result of the use of the dies, and die wear. It&#039;s like the result of the use of the coins, once in circulation. That wear isn&#039;t an error, but rather the result of circulation wear. And if you don&#039;t believe that explanation, Randy, I can make up another one, lol. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
