<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kevin Mader, post: 25515550, member: 106826&quot;]For what it&#039;s worth, I am still undecided about what&#039;s completely happening for a Class 9.&nbsp; I suspect that my experience around tool and die guys has something to do with it.&nbsp; I tried talking about it to a few of them...but their not being coin hobbyists, they never really entertained the discussion for very long.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have noticed that classifications of all classes have been applied to the single squeeze candidates.&nbsp; I started looking into this more a few years ago when wondering about the 2004 P Jefferson DDO...I was noticing things on subsequent years but were never classified (or hadn&#039;t been) a doubling candidate.&nbsp; The idea about the conical rods and the &#039;snap&#039; that folks attested to at the mint got me thinking about experiences in the various stamping houses I&#039;ve worked with.&nbsp; Equipment slop or loose bits in the setup as possibilities got my wondering.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m reasonably satisfied with the various explanations I&#039;ve read over the years, but I especially like the discussions we&#039;ve had here at CT over the years: folks have raised good points and from my perspective, caused me to adjust my own personal theory about what&#039;s going on.&nbsp; To your point, the folks-turned-reporters going in and questioning the operators about what&#039;s going on...lends to some of the insight as well as some of the confusion.&nbsp; I guess I don&#039;t need it to be a settled matter...but the longer the debates go...I kind of want to know what&#039;s going on.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
