<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 2171745, member: 66&quot;]One thing to consider is we don&#039;t know how many doubled dies they catch and condemn before they ever go into production</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I would find that rather surprising due to the number of machines they would need.&nbsp; My estimates (using 2012 production figures) is that Philadelphia would need about 100 machines to keep up with their daily production die requirements for their circulating coinage.&nbsp; Denver would need a similar number.&nbsp; Then there would be the extra ones needed in Philadelphia for the production of the dies for San Francisco and West Point.&nbsp; Call it maybe 240 to 250 machines to produce what can be done by a few hubbing presses.&nbsp; Yes I can see direct cutting of the hubs, but direct cutting of all the dies is foolish.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
