That's crazy. Sounds like they don't have much confidence in their QC. Oh wait, they don't have QC. Imagine the money they could save on minting extra coins if they would make them right to begin with.

Here is the Quality control you are talking about. I don't know what happened here looks like a die crack it is all raised metal of the coin.  |

Got a response to freedom of information act request about the large amount of coins pressed in comparison with mintage limit. Response seems reasonable.  |

Rather than go through the hassle of a freedom of information act request, I would be nice if the mint would just have a way to submit questions. Obviously, most wouldn't be worthy of replies being posted, but ones like this certainly would.

Of course they could always just package them sooner but I guess that would be too logical

To be fair, it looks like they made a standardized package design that will carry across all the reverse proof products. I'd rather they take more time and get it right the first time so there is consistency.

Just use the contact form. It depends on the question whether a FOIA request or a question via this form might be more appropriate. |

In that case, I can see no reason that the question asked should have required a FOIA request.

If the staff they have answering questions submited through that venue have the same responsibility to respond and the same capacity to research I would agree, however working in government I doubt that is the case.

I'd just assume that all coins/medals get over-produced for cases such as this. Especially those that have mintage limits. 30% does seem on the high end but the explanation seems reasonable.
