    Hello...I am looking for maybe some help and info......
    I would like to know if anyone knows of any Nickle, dime, halves, or dollars that are made with wrong dies, transitional dies, or mid-year design die change on business strike coins?
    First some definitions.....

    WRONG DESIGN DIES: A coin where the dies that struck the coin were not intended to have been used together on that coin by the Mint.
    Example: A half dollar with a business strike obverse die and a proof reverse die.
    TRANSITIONAL DESIGN DIES: A coin struck with a die the Mint intended
    for use before or after the year that coin that was struck.
    Example: An 1859 obverse die with an 1860 reverse die on a cent.
    MID-YEAR DESIGN DIE CHANGE: A denomination that in the same
    year had different designs that the mint intended for use.
    Example: The five designs of state quarters that were produced each year.

    what I have listed is...
    1939 P Proof reverse of 1940 AKA strong stepsnickels
    1969 P Proof reverse AKA reverse of 1968 dime
    1970 P Proof reverse AKA reverse of 1968 dime
    1970 D Proof reverse AKA reverse of 1968 dime
    1958 Proof style reverse AKA Type 2 half
    1959 Proof style reverse AKA Type 2 half
    1959 Double Die Reverse with the Type 1 and Type 2 reverse AKA Type 3 half
    1972 P Type 1 AKA low relief AKA RDV-001 dollar
    1972 P Type 2 AKA high relief AKA RDV-002 dollar
    1972 P Type 3 AKA modified high relief AKA RDV-003 dollar

    Anyone have anything else????

    Lots in Washington quarters. Check out the early clads. For some years, there are are as many as 5 different reverse dies. Also, the Type A, B, and C reverses on the '56-'64, and '64 D respectively. There appears to have been an obverse hub change during the '51 and '52 minting period. 1934 has three obverse die varieties.
