[QUOTE="tlasch, post: 1038263, member: 27272"]Interesting posts I agree with you medoraman, we do need talented engravers at the mint, now aday's they produce them on computer, have the computer engrave them and a specialist re-touches them up ever notice coins after 1982 have parts of the design that don't exceed the thickness of a piece of paper. Take a look at a 1964 penny and compare it to a 2007 penny, though the design is almost the same, it seems like a greater impression in the 1964 penny as it was hand carved. I just love the mecrury dime which is why I suggested this topic for discussion[/QUOTE]
