Future Presidential $1 possible error scenario & question?

AskRaq

Being that it was originally assumed that the smooth edge GW "P" dollars ended up that way due to a bin missing the incusing process, the error was thought to be a one-time mishap, unlikely to be repeated in any such quantity again.
Then, some GW "D" dollars showed up with the same error... and then partial lettering edged dollars... and finally shifted letter edges.
Making it more likely that the 'partials' slipped & the 'smooths' skipped.

Questions:

If it was proven that the missing lettering occured because of the incusing step malfunctioning (rather than human error - skipping a bin), how would that change the future error possibility scenario?

If it increases the likelihood of future releases also being smooth edge - will that increase the value of the GW smooth edge coins also, or decrease their value?

My suspicion is two things happened that allow the smoothies out. The missed bin accounts for the huge number of P-Mint coins. I think the few Ds were likely caused by coins that spilled/fell out of hoppers, machinery, etc and whne picked up were put in behind the edgelettering machine.

What I think some forget is how big of a manufactuing process the mint is. Not even just the bulk striking of coins, but planchet preparation, die creation, scheduling production lines, shipping, inventory, workers, etc.
