<p>[QUOTE=&quot;coppercoins, post: 564143, member: 152&quot;]Any more the difference between information gathered and information discovered on my part is generally a fog, but this particular piece is from my own personal observation.&nbsp; Unfortunately, however, it does not lead in the direction of noting specific population because dies are changed for a number of different reasons, overuse being only one of them.</p><p><br /></p><p>An RPM could be hung as a hammer die with a reverse which has already had a hundred thousand strikes.&nbsp; That reverse die could be changed after only a couple thousand strikes of the RPM obverse.&nbsp; The RPM obverse could develop a premature crack and break after only 15,000 strikes, and here we have an RPM that only exists up to mid-die state (which are generally difficult to find) that has two different reverse die pairings.</p><p><br /></p><p>While this scenario is not only hypothetical but singular in nature, any number of possibilities could exist that create the reality of two paired dies with another die that had a rather short life.</p><p><br /></p><p>There are other cases in which a die was known to have an extended life and kept the same opposite die throughout - like the 1995 DDO.&nbsp; Hundreds of thousands are likely, yet only one die pairing is known to exist (to my knowledge).</p><p><br /></p><p>Regarding your reactivation in the SLCC - You should send your information to me through my Post Office Box to renew.&nbsp; You may not know yet, but the SLCC now has a web site located at <a href="http://www.lincolncentsociety.com" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.lincolncentsociety.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.lincolncentsociety.com</a>.&nbsp; My address is obtainable through the &#039;join or renew&#039; link in the navigation pane.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
