(Dies haven't 'worn' yet in theory.) But who knows how many dies they're using and how often they're replaced? Others just want the designation to feel like it's a notch above the rest. While others probably want it just following the herd and couldn't give a good explanation as to why it matters but will pay for it.</p><p><br /></p><p> We know for sure the reverse proof and 'S' mm dies were required to produce less than 100k examples, depending on how many different ones they used. Is that enough to even break them in?</p><p><br /></p><p> If you only wanted to get the two keys graded, you can open the box and still do it. They'll still get the 25th label. And that way you could only send the best ones you get. Keep the other sets together in original packaging. It seems like an excellent compromise to me.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
