<p>[QUOTE=&quot;messydesk, post: 3214165, member: 1765&quot;]And what a task that would be.&nbsp; 1867 alone has a mintage of just north of 30 million.&nbsp; Given how common die clashing and breakage is on dies that are not eroded, I&#039;m going to ballpark the average mintage per die pair at 30,000, meaning there would be about 1,000 die pairs for this date.&nbsp; The 1921 Morgan dollar has the highest mintage and the highest number of die pairs cataloged, at somewhere around 400, but this is from several people looking at lots of readily available, uncirculated coins.&nbsp; Scrounging up enough 1867 nickels in good enough shape to identify 1000 die pairs is not a path I would start down.</p><p><br /></p><p>Edit:&nbsp; I missed [USER=299]@howards[/USER] &#039;s post saying we&#039;re talking tens of thousands of dies.&nbsp; I&#039;ll defer to his numbers and up my reluctance to wanting to identify all the 1867 die marriages by an order of magnitude.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
