<p>[QUOTE=&quot;coppercoins, post: 563732, member: 152&quot;]It is safe to assume this is always possible, but it is not &#039;likely&#039; or &#039;certain&#039;.&nbsp; Dies are switched individually when they need to be switched without regard to the other die.&nbsp; If an obverse and reverse die are hung together and work together, it is entirely possible for them to be switched at the same time.&nbsp; They can also be switched one at a time, creating different die pairings for doubled dies, repunched mintmarks, etc.</p><p><br /></p><p>I know of over 2,000 different die varieities in the Lincoln cent series.&nbsp; Roughly 250-300 of the ones I know of had an opposite die switched while the die variety was being minted.&nbsp; In some of these cases, the opposite die was switched twice.</p><p><br /></p><p>I only know of a couple dozen cases where there was a die variety on both sides of the coin, and of those only a small handful had the possibilities you list above.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
