<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bhp3rd, post: 827662, member: 16510&quot;]So is what you are trying to say is a single working die and a single working doubled die from one mint/year production each produces the same number of coins the coins from each have the same amount of rairty? </p><p>This is the first time I have ever heard suth a thing compared.&nbsp; Why would you do that?&nbsp; Again it approaches non-sence.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Why would you ever think most major doubled dies run a full life?&nbsp; The key word being major when we know that most (majors) have not simply by the coins that are found historically and for most after many decades have gone by.</p><p>Of course you may then argue, well you have not seen all the 1980-P Lincoln&#039;s that were produced - well who needs to?&nbsp; I&#039;ve seen several 100 of thousands and I have found 1 and owned 2 die #1. </p><p>Why would you think we see them (in terms of rarity) and compare them to only one working single working die for a given year/mint.</p><p>I just got through searching 2000 circulated Lincoln&#039;s this morning.&nbsp; I looked at 70 to 145 1980-P cents.&nbsp; I found no doubled dies which is normal but,,, How would I have been able to tell how many where from die #8 for that year or die #80 and why would I care, I&#039;m looking for die #1 DDO-001 out hundreds (of dies) for the year.&nbsp; It&#039;s the one die among hundreds of dies that is rare. It&#039;s the die, the die, the die amoung all the other dies.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><b>An 1980-P DDO-001 is COMPARED to all 1980-P lincoln&#039;s!!!</b></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I have never ever (if that what&#039;s you are suggestion) heard one person make such a comparision of rarity of a doubled die within one year/mint to one single normal die for the same year/mint! </p><p>Why on earth would anyone come up with such a idea???</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>One more thing, you may not understand doubled die very well and maybe not the minting process but, &quot;you do know the mint must make hundreds of working dies for each year/mint don&#039;t you&quot;?&nbsp; That&#039;s a fact.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The only way your logic would be applicable is if the mint made 2 single dies and one was normal and one a doubled die and they both made the same number of coins and,,, where did you get this stuff???[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
