<p>[QUOTE=&quot;foundinrolls, post: 684003, member: 4350&quot;]It&#039;s possible for a die to be damaged in transit from Philly to Denver , let&#039;s say.&nbsp; but the odds are highly against it<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> The dies are securely packaged before shipping.</p><p><br /></p><p>Before a die is used,&nbsp; it is examined,&nbsp; sometimes not too carefully but it is checked over to a degree<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>As the dies are being used,&nbsp; if a catastrophic failure occurs, let&#039;s say a die just shatters...a press would be stopped and the die would be changed out.</p><p><br /></p><p>If a press runs out of planchets and there are some die clashes that don&#039;t destroy the die but only mark it up some,&nbsp; a choice is made if it is noticed.&nbsp; If the damage done is too severe,&nbsp; the die will be replaced.&nbsp; If the die can be abraded to remove clash marks and then re-used, that will be done.&nbsp; If a die is only lightly marked up,&nbsp; it will continue in service as lighter die clash marks would be eliminated during its use as coins were being struck.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now...t sounds like there is still a little confusion about something.&nbsp;&nbsp; The &quot;Single Squeeze&quot;&nbsp; is how a die is made to be used in the minting process,&nbsp; so I am not sure why you asked if the dies are used or dumped after the single squeeze...</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks,</p><p>Bill[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
