Some marks left over are planchet marks, but given the special planchet prep (polishing) that the Mint Set planchets undergo, it makes sense there would be few of those. But there is still handling that the coins have to undergo after they are struck. And even though it is careful handling, done by machine, some of the coins still manage to pick up some marks.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
