<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jeff Callahan, post: 5392388, member: 116765&quot;]I can&#039;t remember who it was, but another member sent me this link too. It is a really good video showing how coins are made at the Philadelphia Mint. It really helped me to think about what process each coin I am viewing went through to become an official US Coin, as well as the other things that have to happen to strike the once blank, worthless planchet, turning it into a work of art to be held and viewed by people many years later. Knowing that process seemed to help me to more quickly understand an error and how it may have happened during the manufacturing of the coin and to associate what I was seeing with either <a href="https://doubleddie.com/144822.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://doubleddie.com/144822.html" rel="nofollow">Mechanical Doubling</a>, <a href="https://doubleddie.com/144843.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://doubleddie.com/144843.html" rel="nofollow">Die Deterioration Doubling</a>, or <a href="https://doubleddie.com/144864.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://doubleddie.com/144864.html" rel="nofollow">Abrasion Doubling</a>. It does take some real interest on your part, not just a way of selling some coins for a profit, but to really appreciate the history of something that was meant to withstand time and the elements... yeah, most who read this will automatically think of the Zincoln, anyway, if you are interested, here is a link to the video. I hope it helps someone else like it did me. Sorry about the length of this post. It is the passion I guess.</p><p><br /></p><p><font size="6"><b><a href="https://youtu.be/HRpRz2P4l2g" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://youtu.be/HRpRz2P4l2g" rel="nofollow">US Quarter Minting Process</a></b></font>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
