<p>[QUOTE=&quot;deefree, post: 2687261, member: 85263&quot;]Larry, I&#039;ve seen some figures where business strikes use dies for up to 6 figures, hundreds of thousands.</p><p>With Matte Proofs, it seems they limited them generally to several hundred to maybe the low thousand range.</p><p>The VDB and non VDB 1909 proofs are an interesting case because for years they reported 420 VDBs and then who knows how many 1909 non VDB before they went to the 2nd obverse die with the non VDB. </p><p>Kevin Flynn found documents saying they made over 1,000 VDBs and then at least several hundred of the plain 1909 with the same obverse die.</p><p>I&#039;ve kind of sided with the 420 number of VDB proofs because that same obverse die got some substantial use with the plain 1909.</p><p>Anyway, to answer your question I&#039;m pretty sure with Proofs, it was less than 2,000 with any one die and with business strikes, 100 times that many.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
