<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mikediamond, post: 243376, member: 1859&quot;]The fate of such dies seems to vary quite a bit.&nbsp; I suppose production quotas, the time of day (or night) the clash occurs, and how energetic the mint employee on duty is helps determine the next step taken.&nbsp; Sometimes dies with heavy clash marks are abraded (&quot;polished&quot;) in an attempt to remove them.&nbsp; If severe enough, it might be taken out of service once the damage is detected.&nbsp; Or it might be allowed to continue until the clash marks weaken and disappear from die wear.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
