<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Pete Apple, post: 3575874, member: 103982&quot;]Here is the answer to your question quoted from the Mint. If I understand this correctly, then there will never be a Rockwell Die Test showing on a coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;The Rockwell-C hardness inspection is performed after the heat treatment process (after the dies come of [sic] out of the furnace and cool). A sample of the dies are tested on their neck. Also “slugs” (dummy dies) are included with each batch of dies in the furnace and they are cross-sectioned to test for through-hardness.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>coloradobryan - GREAT QUESTION! Thank you for asking![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
