LDS errors (cracked dies) are probably more prominent than EDS ones simply due to dies wearing out.

My guess is after minting a lot more coins, the clash marks would eventually flatten out, or get polished with maintenance workers repairing them. It's just my theory, and trying to understand which errors have more significance pertaining to coin values.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
