<p>[QUOTE="Inspector43, post: 25515674, member: 89213"]The real challenge in coin collecting is finding one without defects or noticeable variances. I've looked at many coins in my 75+years of active collecting, and, I spent my employment career in Quality Management functions. The mint, like all manufacturing operations, has targets (design specifications) and these targets have tolerances. Every piece cannot be exact to spec, and the closer we look the more out of spec they appear.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
