So, for business strikes like OldSchool101s there had to be at least 7 die pairs obverse and 3 die pairs for obverse proofs. Very much the same for the reverse, as he lists 8 business strike reverse varieties versus 4 proof reverse.</p><p><br /></p><p>I could be way off on die pair quantity though.
