<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 3675048, member: 66&quot;]Back when the 1995 was truck they were using presses that struck between 60 and 100 coins per minute, about 1 coin per second.&nbsp; That gave the metal time to fill the higher relief used on the dies.&nbsp; Today the press is running at 750 coins per minute, 13 coins per second.&nbsp; There just physically would not be enough time for the metal to flow into the relief of the dies used in 1995.&nbsp; If they tried they would come out of the press with the detail of a G-4.&nbsp; So they have had to GREATLY reduce the relief just to have some detail on the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>It can be interesting to put together a date set of modern coins since 1965 in MS just so you can see how the the designs and relief change over the years.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
