<p>[QUOTE="bigjpst, post: 792688, member: 21015"]I would assume that it may differ for every type of coin, mintage figures, some probably do..but I have a mercury dime which has and obverse that the die is so deteriorated that all the lettering around the edges is very weakly struck, and there is a giant crack running up liberty's neck and cheek, and the reverse seems to still be at a fairly early die stage...letters all still sharp no fbl but still much bolder than the obverse....I cant imagine that one die would wear out so much quicker than the other...I have to assume the reverse was changed earlier in the run...Jmo[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
