<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SilverSurfer, post: 920340, member: 21603&quot;]I&#039;ve been avoiding this thread, because I realize people&#039;s feeling are affected by this type of thread, and the coin in question.&nbsp; I don&#039;t know how many first spouse coins are made, I&#039;m thinking on the order of a few 10s of thousands.&nbsp; I also don&#039;t know how many strikes a die is supposed to produce before it is replaced.&nbsp; It might be possible that there is only one die, for the number of coins struck.&nbsp; In that case, your chances of getting something better is minimal.&nbsp; It looks to me like the &quot;scratches&quot; are a case of haste makes waste.&nbsp; I understand you think there should be quality in a product that costs hundreds of dollars and sells for a high premium, but every business is subject to workers that don&#039;t take 100% pride in their job.&nbsp; This is just fact of life.</p><p><br /></p><p>P.S.&nbsp; but I&#039;m starting to see this as other people are.....maybe this is the key first spouse coin that you are looking for......one with real mint damage....scratched die strike.&nbsp; Possibly in the future people will be seeking this one out for the &quot;rare condition&quot; it represents.</p><p><br /></p><p>P.P.S.&nbsp; Maybe you could send it in to one of the grading companies and get a die error designation for it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
