I have NO inside information on WHY Denver coins look better, but I can say what it LOOKS LIKE. It looks like a lower throughput speed and a longer die to planchet contact time. Now, that makes no sense. It just looks that way. 

..."lower throughput speed n longer contact time" reminds me of my first wife... she was a ms70*+....

Yes, I think the Denver mint has much better or a different type of equipment.

I will know on June 20. I have toured the Philly mint plenty, and all the past mints that still stand. San Fran and West Point don’t do public tours, but Denver does. And I’m touring that one on 06/20/24 as part of my ANA Summer Seminar trip.

I had some superb gem girlfriends, but the ex-wife was “impaired”.
