Message:: [QUOTE="KBBPLL, post: 26220906, member: 104064"]Do you have a source for that? Are you sure you're not confusing a Variety Vista DDO number with an actual die number used by the mint? <a href="http://www.varietyvista.com/01b%20LC%20Doubled%20Dies%20Vol%202/1964PDDO022.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.varietyvista.com/01b%20LC%20Doubled%20Dies%20Vol%202/1964PDDO022.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.varietyvista.com/01b LC Doubled Dies Vol 2/1964PDDO022.htm</a> is the 1964 DDO-022 listing. 022 isn't a "die number", it's just the number they assigned to the DDO. Otherwise I have a difficult time understanding how anybody would know which die number was assigned to a die that produced a variety, unless someone went back through all the dies and matched one up to the particular DDO. With a mintage of 2,648,575,000 you would have to pick that specific die out of about 3000 others. I suppose the mint may have discovered the problem during QC, knew which die it was, documented it, and let those coins enter circulation anyway, but I've never seen mint records go into that level of detail. They would have to be. The only exception I can think of is if two different FS designations are later determined to be the same variety.[/QUOTE]
