<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rmpsrpms, post: 2533737, member: 31773&quot;]Great older post. Thanks for resurrecting as I missed it first time around. </p><p><br /></p><p>A few years ago I bought a $20 mint bag of 1945-S Cents. I was hoping for a wide range of dies in the bag as I am a die variety collector, but a quick look through the bag shows that all 2000 coins appear to be from the same die. I have often thought of checking through all the coins to see what variations I could see across this 2000 piece sample. Maybe some day.</p><p><br /></p><p>A short while back I went through a group of about 50 rolls of 1955-S Cents, and within that sample of rolls I found a full range of die stages / states for the 1955-S RPM#4. This RPM exhibits a BIE that progresses from crack to chip / break over the life of the die. I took photos of Stage A, C, E, J, and K and created an animation showing the die stage / state progression. You can see the individual Stage photos here: <a href="http://www.macrocoins.com/progressions.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.macrocoins.com/progressions.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.macrocoins.com/progressions.html</a>.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i943.photobucket.com/albums/ad273/rparkhurst/ba2d16a57545df5d06eabd57cb78380e.gif" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
