<p>[QUOTE=&quot;usmc60, post: 2314469, member: 76739&quot;]Dave, all of the numismatics it is their right to disagree.&nbsp; And I have the right to disagree with them, and being an engineer for well over 20 years and have actually work with the same metal the mint uses to&nbsp; made dies, every working day for 20 years, I had been the individual who causes pressure and heat damage to this metal for well over 20 years for 8 to 12 hours a day, so I ask you Dave who is more qualified to speak about mental stress that individual who works with it every day of his working career, or a numismatics professional who has sat on his butt for 20 years and may have read all the literature and seen a lot of pitchers, but who is the most qualified individual is speak intelligently on mental stress and fatigue.&nbsp; I would actually like to hear from an actual mint press operator, what they have to say about this issue. and Dave I&#039;m sure the blue collar workers on the site that actually work with this kind of metal on their job daily, can relate to were I&#039;m coming from.&nbsp; You can read all the books in the world and look at all the pitchers, but these individuals are lacking one thing, actual hands on experience with this metal, Dave this is only a guess, but I think a majority of numismatics so called professionals has not actually work with this kind of metal on a daily basis.&nbsp; Can only express their opinions on what they have read and seen in a photos. the individuals who actually work with this kind of metal daily.&nbsp; No better. Dave I have worked with this metal in my career, about dime size metal rods up to 6 inches in diameter 2 feet long waiting&nbsp; over couple 100 pounds,&nbsp; For well over 20 years.&nbsp; Dave I can only speak for myself I have worked with this metal for well over 20 years, have you?.&nbsp; or had had any experience working with us, metal?.&nbsp; One at[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
