<p>[QUOTE=&quot;coinquest1961, post: 1997825, member: 1375&quot;]I think it happens on a fairly regular basis even in modern times-the Type &quot;B&quot; reverse quarters are an example where the proof die can be easily distinguished from the business strike die and where proof dies were certainly used to strike business strike coinage when they were no longer suitable for proofs. The &quot;Wide AM&quot; Lincolns, some Peace dollars and some Buffalo nickels that can be identified by their unique die markers would be another example. I doubt that the Mint would discard a perfectly usable die in any case-they are quite expensive.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
