The listing for WRPMs has almost doubled in the last 3 years. The above table is only a representation of Re-punched Mint Marks. If you added Double Die, OMM and other recognized variety listings to the mix, the population of varieties per 100 coins increases.</p><p><br /></p><p>NOTE: Retired listings have not been adjusted for in the above table. </p><p><br /></p><p>Hopefully the table lines up in the appropriate column format.</p><p><br /></p><p>Happy Hunting.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
