I received the aforementioned set today. While it is completely defaced (as expected), it is an interesting step to take in my numismatic journey to own a die used by the U.S. Mint.      I wish I knew if this was an obverse or reverse die. Can it be determined by the shape? I don't know too much in that area. Anyway, it is said to have struck 67,125 coins, so I had to extrapolate and determined that if die life was consistent, it required over 5,500 of these (only half of the die pair, mind you) to complete the stated 2004 Denver Peace nickel mintage!  I hope to add less defaced examples eventually. In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020

I am going to bump this old thread back up, but it's for a very good reason! I bought a die set almost 3 years ago. According to the information I found out on my Retired coin die set thread, it was a 2008 Lincoln Memorial cent die. The serial number is P8 - 303915. Unfortunately, I do not have the certificate of authenticity or anything. It's basically just a partial coin die set. Anyways, please click on the link to view the thread. You'll learn a lot from it! We talked about how dies were made and much more! There's a lot of valuable information that just can't go unnoticed.   http://goccf.com/t/302961 Errers and Varietys.

I have a 1995 P Olympics Track & Field Obverse cancelled with an "X". The remaining details of the die are very nice!  |
