The more Philadelphia coins you encounter the more you will see this effect. Mostly this will be evident on dimes and quarters because of the very high numbers of coins that are made and the fact that Philly uses their dies to the bitter end. On Philly cents, you will not see this but will see cracks and chips. And because of the low mintages on halves you will not encounter this very often. Same goes for the dollar coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
