[QUOTE="yakpoo, post: 1255552, member: 18157"]That's similar to what you said in an earlier post...but even if they're evaluating flow lines, two coins struck close in time from the same die would produce nearly identical flow lines...I would think. I've been studying silver Washington Quarter die deterioration and I've noticed that, due to the design, die cracks appear in similar areas across a wide variety of dates and mints. Oftentimes I see similar flow patterns as dies deteriorate, also. Granted, I'm not suggesting that my 53 year old eyes are any match for Secure Plus, but I can imagine where "not too much" variation (lasering) of key features could begin to produce false returns. I have a little experience with biometric scanners (specifically, eye retina scanners) and most scanning mechanisms have a certain number of False Positive/Negative responses and are adjustable to minimize false returns...bringing the skill of the operator into the mix. Biometric scanning tools undergo significant testing under controlled conditions to determine false positive/negative thresholds under various conditions. I would be surprised if Secure Plus hasn't undergone similar testing and would be interested to know the results...not that I ever expect to see any. I hope you don't think I'm being argumentative...just saying I wish I knew more specifics.[/QUOTE]
