[QUOTE="Clawcoins, post: 3810276, member: 77814"]Even though the inspectors see the MD/DDD, they don't reject it. After all, the design of the coin is to make sure people that use it for commerce, identify them as proper denominations and authentic US Coins. And what value would you give them when they are manufactured by the millions or billions with MD/DDD .. as they push the usage of dies longer and longer to reduce the overall price of manufacture. If they pulled all these coins, or more frequently replace dies and increase maintenance/machine inspection, they'd increase the cost of manufacturing which they are trying to reduce it, not increase it. The US MINT has a higher regard to Proof coins to make them look nicer and attempt to not have defects in which they replace dies more often, have higher maintenance and a higher quality inspection. The circulated coinage, well, it is what it is. In short, inspectors attempt to reject hub doubling coins as too damaged for commerce for quick visual acceptance. But they do not reject MD/DDD as it's just considered what it is in manufacturing.[/QUOTE]
