<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bhp3rd, post: 826753, member: 16510&quot;]The total production of regularly minted cents per year has nothing to do with the number of doubled dies made, found, for sale, how valued or how strongly doubled <b>- it&#039;s the die, the die, the die!!!</b></p><p>It has nothing to do with cents made but cents struck from THAT or A &quot;doubled die&quot;.&nbsp; This combined with better minting processes designed to prevent such doubled dies, 1995 verses 1955.</p><p>This is key to why and how we value these.&nbsp; We know that several hundred thousand 1995-P DDO-001 were struck and we know that between 20,000 and 30,000 1955-P DDO-001 were made.&nbsp; This is not the only factor but the strength of doubling is in valuing it.&nbsp; The 1995 is minor compared to the 1955 but very nice for a modern minted DDO.</p><p>We know the 1995 DDO ran almost a complete run of cents and we know the 1955 did not.&nbsp; We know even the name of the mint foreman in 1955 that made the decision to release the the batch containing the 20,000 or so doubled dies, the very night, the weather forecast and resons for such.</p><p>These are just some of things that help make doubled dies valuble and provide study for such.</p><p>Again the coins are not the issue but the dies - the doubled dies![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
