Parnelli917 Valued Member United States 392 Posts	Posted 01/20/2023 2:11 pm I'm going to take the middle of the road on this topic. Quality is in the eye of the customer. I've had proof coins from the mint with errors on them. I also understand that circulation coins in high volume will always result in imperfections. While I understand the mint's tolerance for errors, I am a believer in the quality process. First, anyone should be free to identify errors in the minting process. Second, root cause error removal (if appropriate), so you aren't repeating your mistakes. Lastly, continuous improvement. Never stop reaching for better results. It becomes a matter of degree of perfection. I'd like to see the U.S. Mint as the standard that all mints aspire to regarding quality. Report this Post to the Staff
