[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 1960231, member: 112"]When you say "so many" am I correct in assuming you mean so many different varieties of the Accented Hair ? What I'm getting at is that I think the answer to your question lies in the fact that the coins were Proofs. There were roughly 4 million '64 Proofs, total, that includes all the AC varieties. And with Proofs dies were only used to strike relatively small numbers of coins as compared to how many a business strike die would make. Back then they used the Proof dies much longer than they do today of course, but even so still relatively few coins were struck by a given die. That's why there are so many different AC variety dies known - quite simply they made a lot of dies. You mentioned 10 known AC doubled die varieties, just for the sake of curiosity I just checked and there are actually 21 of them listed on CONECA's site. As for your other question, all but 2 of those 21 are attributed to being a result of the master die.[/QUOTE]
