Message:: [QUOTE="Clawcoins, post: 3548310, member: 77814"]you have to remember,the US MINT makes all these coins for circulation.They make other ones for Proofs, and sets. You've probably seen Brinks/Loomis trucks picking up bags of coins and cash and carrying them to the trucks. They simply throw those bags onto each other .. creating massive weight which can have the coins scratch/hit ding/damage each other. They then process those bags using coin separation and counters.you'll end up with a Dump like this ... which of course can cause scratches, dings, damage etc. .. which ends up back in rolls for store cash registers, banks, etc which gets used as money and ends up in the Brinks truck again in bags, which gets processed again .. over and over and over again.[ATTACH=full]942943[/ATTACH] just remember ... when you pull a coin out of circulation ... it's in "circulation" because it is being used for money first and foremost.  They don't care that people are collecting them. but, you have to learn what a "mint error" is versus "damage"[/QUOTE]
