<p>[QUOTE=&quot;yakpoo, post: 1258157, member: 18157&quot;]Interesting...that&#039;s what I was thinking, also. I&#039;ve noticed that there&#039;s a higher percentage of PF70s since the new process was adopted...as compared to just ten (10) years earlier. If you look at the Silver Proof States Quarter population reports, the number of PF70 doubled around 2005. Perhaps more were being submitted, but that&#039;s quite a coincidence.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m not quite sure what to make of that. Personally, I feel the results of the new process to be <b>less </b>eye appealing...more granular, but I haven&#039;t studied enough laser textured coins to identify variations...but there must be variations (I would think). Do you know how many times a proof die is retextured before it&#039;s replaced? ...or do they just get a couple of thousand strikes from each die pair before discarding them?</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
