<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 303042, member: 66&quot;]Well one you can create a machine that can open up any type of package that arrives in the mail,&nbsp; put the coins in flips, identify them by country, denomination, date, mintmark, and read any particular variety attribute that the submitter has put on the submission, read any special requests printed there, and enter all that into the computer then you can eliminate most of the problems.&nbsp; It isn&#039;t the printing of the labels that&#039;s the problem, it&#039;s data entry.&nbsp; Pretty much everything you see on the label other tan the grade, color if applicable, and variety if applicable, is on there because of the entries made by the clerk that typed the coins in in the first place.&nbsp; And I ma sure they have a wonderful time trying to make sense out of some peoples handwriting on the submission forms.&nbsp; Does this person know coins?&nbsp; Maybe, maybe not.&nbsp; Same goes for the person at the other end who assembles and seals the slabs</p><p><br /></p><p>Now sure the finalizer should be in a position to catch it, but how many finalizers are there and how many coins are processed per day?&nbsp; I figure about 5000 per day.&nbsp; If you have three finalizers that comes to one coin every 15 seconds, every minute of every hour for 8 hours.&nbsp; I&#039;m sure in the morning wen they are fresh things don&#039;t get past them.&nbsp; But after 4 or 5 hours, I&#039;m sure the are getting punchy and missing things.&nbsp; The thing is as long as the human element is in the cycle, there will be errors.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
