[QUOTE="SuperDave, post: 2403743, member: 1892"]Steph Curry is who he is because he shoots [I]a million shots when it doesn't count[/I]. So when it [B]does[/B] count, he drains it from halfcourt. We are too quick to make complete values judgments based on perceived monetary return, and our own preferences/prejudices. That isn't the complete list of things which have "value."

Of course. As long as the rim is complete and undamaged, not much else explains it. :) That decision - that you're looking at a misaligned die - should [B]always[/B] lead to the next thought: "What else, if anything, did this misaligned die cause to the resulting coin?"
