<p>[QUOTE=&quot;National dealer, post: 17254, member: 487&quot;]The Mint is really very good at removing error coins before they leave the mint. Now with that said, it really depends on what that error is. As many collectors know, die cracks, small cuds, filled dies, and weak strikes are pretty common. Now the quality control systems used at the mints for circulation quality coins is far more loose than those at San Francisco and West Point. At Philly and Denver, they rely more on automated systems such as the riddler machines to catch the major errors. At the rate that they put out coins, small errors are of no consequence to commerce. It is only our small group that make such a big deal out of a damaged die. To answer your question though, the mint does try to fix any problems that they find as fast as they find them. Complete runs have been remelted and struck again in some cases.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
