<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ClairHardesty, post: 1304132, member: 34169&quot;]A quick reply to the question of how long it takes for ASE die to wear out. One day! At its peak, the West point mint averages over 200,000 SAEs struck per day. Even though there are probably a fair amount of presses running (with 24 hour production, 200,000 is about 2.4 per second, round the clock) individual die pairs might be installed every day or every few days. Even if you think that a die pair could last 100,000 coins, that is still more than 1 set per day for the WP mint over the course of the year. Die for proof coins probably mint only a few thousand at best, maybe only one thousand. The UHRDE die struck an average of about 300 coins each. End point, early and late die state coins are minted every day.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
