<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Pickin and Grinin, post: 5399246, member: 73995&quot;]From the RED book on Lincoln cents. It seems that by the time the Doubled die was first seen there were over 40,000 of them produced. And 24,000 of them were already mixed with the other cents. The mint inspector decided to release them into circulation. Thinking that they would be viewed as defective, &quot;Boy was he wrong&quot;</p><p>According to the red book it say&#039;s that they believe 3 to 4,000 are suspected to still exist. But that seems wrong it is more likely that 3-4 exist in MS.</p><p><br /></p><p>Coin facts tells a slightly different story but one that confirms the cigarette pack story.
