<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hookman, post: 3702885, member: 99642&quot;]Well, when you think about how MD happens, then you realize that the same thing happens on coin after coin until a mint employee realizes what&#039;s happening and then tightens a screw, or realigns a collar. or whatever he has to do to stop the MD. Remember, when coins are being minted, they&#039;re minting the same coin (year and MM), very, very quickly, over and over, thousands and thousands, even millions, at a time.</p><p>Remember, these are automated machines that operate as fast as robotically possible. A mint employee does not typically stop the machine to look for doubling, of any kind. A mechanical failure, that stops the process, would cause the employee to examine the machine, and/or coins, find a problem, and fix it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Disclaimer : I am NOT a mint employee, have never been one, never will be, and have never played one on TV.</p><p>What I have just written comes from a very small amount of knowledge of the minting process, a slightly larger amount of knowledge of the general manufacturing&nbsp; process, and a very large amount of desire to show off the previous two.&nbsp;&nbsp; lol</p><p><br /></p><p>We have many other members who can expound to a larger degree concerning your finding 3 coins with the same MD on them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
