[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 4583934, member: 66"]Paddy, that's one rev paired with two obverses, but both for the same year. As Johnmilton said there are many examples of it happening in the early and 19th century coinage. In the records there are many references to dies being desroyed at the end of the years with the notation "X number of reverse dies held over". In some cases these would be dies that were not used, and in some cases dies that were used but still serviceable. Reuse of proof die reverse was very common. All or almost all of the 1840 - 49 proof half cents were struck using the same reverse die. In the seated series I don't remember if it was in the quarters or the halves but one proof rev die keeps reappearing over a 10 year period. I'm sure it has also happened in the 20th century, but I can't cite examples. OK, here is at least one case nickels, rev proof die # 39 used in 1939 was also used for proofs in 1940. It struck 3,800 1939 proofs and 900 1940 proofs[/QUOTE]
