<p>[QUOTE=&quot;frankjg, post: 3701755, member: 17567&quot;]I’ve explained this somewhere else before.&nbsp; Here is the short explanation. </p><p><br /></p><p>Business strike coins are not made to be perfect for collectors, proofs are. Business strike coins are made quickly and cheaply, to be used in commerce. </p><p><br /></p><p>Many factors affect the look of a coin. Strike pressure, die deterioration state, grease in the die, operators hangover status, etc...</p><p><br /></p><p>Any minor anomaly you see is just because the manufacturing process is not perfect. </p><p><br /></p><p>There’s an old engineering saying - you can have it fast, cheap, or good, pick two.&nbsp; The mint chooses fast and cheap so you sacrifice good (quality). </p><p><br /></p><p>Hope that helps.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
