<p>[QUOTE=&quot;quarter-back, post: 1787256, member: 47022&quot;]First, to the OP.&nbsp; I have found both reverses on Philadelphia and Denver coins, but only the later hub version on the proofs.&nbsp; That doesn&#039;t mean they are not out there, I just haven&#039;t found one.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I have tried for years to make sense of this issue.&nbsp; I have looked in detail at every 72 and 82 I have found over 4 years of nickel roll searching, and I use e-bay as one of my sources for research as it gives me a lot of images to look at.&nbsp; I have looked at hundreds (if not more) and have never found an 82 coin that I can definitely ID as a an obverse Type of 77.&nbsp; The reverses are easy.&nbsp; The same is true for the 70-72 issues.&nbsp; The reverse is easy, but I find the obverses to be more of a continuum than a bimodal distribution.&nbsp; I even tried assembling a set of many dozens of images from 68-74 so i could be confident of being able to ID the end points.&nbsp; I&#039;ve seen previous discussion that, at least for early 70&#039;s nickels, the original report may have been in error.&nbsp; If anyone has any definitive die markers (especially to provide estimates of the number of dies involved), hints, etc., for the &quot;mules&quot;, publishing them would be a great service to the vast dozen or so collectors that actually care about these things.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
