Message:: [QUOTE="rascal, post: 1405405, member: 29239"]this is exactly what I was going to say but I see you have it already figured out. every coin this die struck after it got this worn will be identical to each other until the die get's worse . I like it where you say you have three of them . this is what I have been trying to tell folks on here. If you find a mint roll of coins and the roll has a error coin in it then there will usually be more of them from the same dies in the roll. back in late 1982 I had 40 rolls of 83 cent coins and each roll had at least 30 of the #1 die DDR coins. there were way more doubled dies in the rolls than the normal cents. back then I didn't have a computer and kept the coins about a year then decided that they were the worthless MD coins and took them back to the bank. this really has learned me a lesson the hard way and I never did be able to find even one of them back , this is a true story. now when I find a bank that has coin rolls with error coins in them I get all I can from that box the roll came from.I learned the exact date on the little white mint collector boxes that the best detached leg bison 5 cent coins was in and I now have over 400 of them. they averaged out to be about 4 coins per roll , the best roll I found had 11 of them. it appears that the mint workers puts the coins in a bin and send them out to be rolled. evidently the company that rolls the coins just does one bin at the time.[/QUOTE]
