[QUOTE="bhp3rd, post: 561276, member: 16510"][b]Could you spell it out a little better I have trouble[/b] Could you spell it out a little better I have trouble with math. Several points to consider though right away. How do you combine three different attributer's data without overlap? Many dies only struck a few thousand coins - the 1955-P DDO-001 is one as I'm sure the 1958-PDDO-001 is also. Are proofs figured in? In most of these years for a die to hold up to 500,000 strikes is not very feasible. Are you asking about the odds if all coins have survived? Or?
