<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SuperDave, post: 2721969, member: 1892&quot;]The only advantage the US Mint would have over foreign Mints is long experience in minting huge quantities of a given issue. Even with attention to detail being similar - an arguable point in the cases of many World issues - the refinement of technique necessary to be able to continuously mint multiple issues in the tens of millions every year would force a less error-prone technique to be able to do it <b>at all</b>. </p><p><br /></p><p>You&#039;ll also note that many World issues have examples of major doubling which would be a &quot;killer variety&quot; in a US coin, like the 1955 Doubled Die Lincoln. You&#039;re seeing these countries go through the same learning curve the US Mint was forced to a century earlier.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
