<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hobo, post: 1712357, member: 11521&quot;]It is not so shocking when you realize that the same die pair struck those coins. </p><p><br /></p><p>I can&#039;t recall if the coin press for nickels strikes one or two coins per strike. (Some coin presses strike four coins per strike but I think those are restricted to cents.) All the coins struck by a coin press with a single pair of dies will be alike (excluding errors). Half the coins struck by a coin press with two pairs of dies will be alike so if a die (or die pair) has an anomaly half the coins struck by a coin press will have that anomaly. </p><p><br /></p><p>Regardless, after the coins have been struck the coins fall into a hopper and, after inspection, are released onto a conveyor where they are mixed in with coins struck by other coin presses. They coins are counted and bagged and later rolled by a contractor. </p><p><br /></p><p>So if you find an anomaly like the ones on your coins you should be able to find a few more examples from Mint rolls.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
