<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hobo, post: 1072719, member: 11521&quot;]Some errors occur singularly and can occur at any time (e.g., off-center, multiple strikes, saddle strike, etc.). Other errors occur together. For instance, when the strip running through the blanking machine does not advance the correct distance after a group of blanks are punched out the next set of blanks may be punched with curved clips. So several blanks will have similar clips. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Similarly, if the strip gets out of alignment and blanks are punched too close to the edge of the strip several straight clips may result. Again, several blanks with similar straight clip are produced. In these two examples the number of (future) error coins produced is dependent on how long the blanking press continues to run before the operator fixes it. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>How about a brockage that becomes a capped die? Again, the number of error coins produced&nbsp; is dependent on how long the coin press continues to operate before the operator fixes it. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>So the simple answer to the question &quot;What is the error rate?&quot; is - - - it depends. It depends on a lot of things. And no one knows that rate because no one knows how many error coins are really produced.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
