[QUOTE="justafarmer, post: 561439, member: 3926"]Posted this once - not sure where it went?? Column 1 - Date of coin Column 2 - Number of different varieties (OMM, RPM, DDO, DDR) based on a cross referenced variety master listing I put together 2 or so years ago combining Wexler, CONECA, Daughtery, Cherrypickers, Breen, Crawford, Potter files. Not sure as of the exact date. After going into the scrap metal business several years ago coupled with farming and other life responsibilities; I sort of drifted away from coin collecting. Easing back into the hobby now. Column 3 - total mintage figures for each coin. Column 4 - ((number of varieties x 500000/total mintage) x 100. The 500000 figure was based on the old rule of thumb put forth by Mr. Snow (I believe) of Indianhead Cent fame as the approximate number of strikes for a working die before being retired. The table isn't intended to be an exact representation of the odds but does provide a general treasure map so to speak.[/QUOTE]
