Now thats intresting

 

You got to give him his time with his kids. Cuz it's probably the best time of his day other then seeing you there when he comes home. That living the good life.

 

Both my children had that surgery 36 and 20 years ago. It worked. You can sleep good

 

Now that they do so much work with computer design and CNC for cutting master hubs they tend to "tweak" the designs every year to improve metal flow and strike qualities.

 

Does the Mint even produce Master Hubs and Master Dies anymore? Or are they just producing Working Hubs with CNC which are then used to produce Working Dies?

 

Hello @Sheila Ruley glad to see your still around even if it's not as much as you want to be. Wishing all the best to you.

Eric,

 

Thank you! I miss everyone!

 

Not to worry Sheila, I have the same problem even with 40x loupe. Part of the learning process I guess, happy hunting.

 

I use a 60x. I can see better and it shows more clearly and more detail.

 

LOL, goodness lady, I thought with my bifocals a 40 would be good, as it turns out, it's still blurry to me. Guess it's time to upgrade. Have a good day.

 

That's a good question. I would expect that they would still create a master hub (with CNC) because if they did working hubs they would still have to make a fair number of them, there would be a chance they would not all be the same, and once you have the master hub/ master die, you can replicate working hubs faster via hubbing than you can cutting them with CNC.

 

Just to take this State Quarter one step further and add to post #75. Following is a CAD rendering of a 2015-P ATB Saratoga Quarter overlaid in green onto the Pennsylvania and Kentucky obverses. More indication the obverse design has not remained static.

 

OMG! You have a DDOC!! I'd send it in to be graded immediately! Gotta be worth something!!

 

Off topic but what software do you use to make these overlays? If you don't mind me asking.

 

That’s awesome, forgive me for going off topic just a bit, where is a good place to find boxes of coin rolls when no bank in my town not even my own bank, not the Kroger‘s or any other place here in Chillicothe Illinois will sell me cases. Coin rolls . My bank Citgo only tells me, “we don’t do that here“ not very friendly people for the most part
This is a new hobby for me and I’m addicted although I have always been interested in antiques, history, coins, etc. I’m a bit of a hoarder I guess but not too bad, ha ha thank you for your time
