Just as how changes the engraver makes that alter the end product are valid, so too are the changes the press operator makes that alter the end product.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>But the design phase is just as much a part of the coining process. Flaws that will negatively impact strike and wear are supposed to be identified and eliminated in this phase. The resulting design flaw on the type I and II SLQs is actually a worse flaw than a die crack because it occurred <i>earlier</i> in the process and remained undetected, making it all the way into the end product. The end product was undeniably flawed. The mint admitted such when they revised the series in 1925. Despite being flawed, the coins are faithful as struck by the mint, the same as the ones with die cracks.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
