Message:: [QUOTE="quarter-back, post: 1973018, member: 47022"]Nickel ODV and RDV's don't get a lot of ink.  In most cases, you will find information scattered among conversations about other things. The '38 and '40 reverses are pretty to do on business strikes, proofs are a different story, There are supposed to be four different die marriages for the 1972 P and 2 for the '72D.  I have only ever found one pairing - Obverse of 72, reverse of 71. For the P coins the types are Type of 1970; Obverse of 70, reverse of 71; Obverse of 72, reverse of 70; and Obverse of 72, reverse of 71. For the D coins Obverse of 70, reverse 71; and obverse of 72, reverse of 71.  The 81 reverse of 82 is a new one on me. I've not heard of that pairing before. The 82/77 and 82/82 are pretty easy. There also is speculation as to whether the large star from the late fifties may be found as a transitional pairing, but I have never heard of one. Hope this helps BTW, don't know if you are interested or not, but there are a few years (at least 41, 46, 52, and probably 74) where multiple mint mark styles were used within a given year.[/QUOTE]
