<p>[QUOTE="ajm229, post: 65301, member: 3350"]Interesting take on it, and I hope you'll forgive me, but I'm a nitpicker by nature: I do indeed agree that such things like die cracks/breaks, and all that other stuff is normal wear and tear on the dies, but I would like to clarify that I see the human error part of this aspect of it in the quality control processes, not the actual minting process. If the mint <i>employees</i> allow something with these "errors" to get in with circulated coins, I would consider that an error. If it doesn't get waffled and is put into circulation, the mint has erred in my opinion. </p><p><br /></p><p>Same thing with proof sets; if the mint allows an imperfection like the above mentioned items (easier to say than trying to name them all again!), then I would consider the mint to have erred by encapsulating that coin in a proof set.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just wanted to clarify what was a bit of a confusing part of my post.
