<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 2308272, member: 66&quot;]There are three types of US mint dies that are commonly seen on the marketpace. (commonly is a relative term)</p><p><br /></p><p>First are the 1968 S proof dies that have their faces melted with a torch. Most or all of the die face is destroyed on these. These were sold by the GSA/mint as scrap metal back in the late 60&#039;s.</p><p><br /></p><p>Next are the 1996 Olympics dies that were sold by the mint through their catalog.&nbsp; These have the X cut across the face of the die but the rest of the die face is intact.</p><p><br /></p><p>Finally there are the coin and die sets that were sold by the mint to colectors in the 2000&#039;s.&nbsp; These had the entire face of the die removed with a surface grinder leaving a flat blank surface.&nbsp; These are probably the most often encountered.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
