I really wish they would return to earlier methods instead of laser treatment to the dies. Although the previous method from 2008 and earlier required more manual work on the dies, it produced a much higher quality product.</p><p><br /></p><p>The recent issue of The Numismatist really exhibits how much detail we have lost on the devices of the coins due to the cheaper employed laser methods. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1539117[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s another example of Liberty on the AGE (1999 vs. 2019). Lady Liberty is now grainy and lacks relief.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1539118[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
