coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/07/2019 9:32 pm It was an eye opener for me. I didn't know the process used for the setup for proof coins. Did Anyone notice what was different on the proof cents on the Video? The cameo is just opposite. The fields are frosted, the devices and bust isn't. Report this Post to the Staff
Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 09/07/2019 10:54 pm I was surprised at how slow proof production really is. I knew it would be, but it's slower and much more labor intensive than I thought. I always had an idea of the process in mind, but I was way off. I watched 20 or so other US Mint videos, too. The room full of .999 gold bars was cool. To think that each of the 400 once bars is worth $602,360.00, using today's price, makes me kind of dizzy! I also saw that in some areas of the mint the walls are covered in employee names and graffiti. The videos make me want to go on a tour of the Philadelphia Mint. It's about 2½ hours from our house. Hey, I wonder if they're hiring. A 5 hour commute isn't that bad. ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!!

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 09/09/2019 09:43 am Some comments. From the 10 second to 33 second. These are proof planchest being slid back and forth on each other and dumped back and forth in the stacking box. From 41 to 49 seconds the planchets are being put into the feeders using metal tongs on the faces of the planchets. At 1:09 and 1:10 you have a tray of struck proof cents laying on top of one another. At 1:18 during packaging you still have proof cents laying on top of each other and the mint workers sliding the top layer over the lower ones. Is it any wonder so many have marks?
