very interesting, thanks! You must get these coins from different mint rolls, right? I do not know how so many dies can be identified in so few rolls.

chzman - We are talking about 1909-S cents here...not 1960D. There are no "mint rolls" of 1909-S cents to my knowledge. This study was done by exhaustively searching through past auction records with images, and using the images in overlays to find which of the known dies each coin matched, then saving the serial numbers from each coin to avoid duplication. In fact, I have gone a step further in saving ALL of the images of ALL of the coins in the study so I can go back and compare images of each different die to ensure I have not double-counted any coins that were resubmitted and have more than one serial number. This has nothing to do with roll searching. I would probably pass out if I saw a whole BU roll of 1909-S cents.

Ok thanks, I misunderstood, when you said that you have 200 more coins to go through.

Did you mention the hallmarks for the 1914-d die pair #5 or did I miss something?

jdbooth - absolutely correct, you are. I have edited the original post to include the fact that die #5 has the mintmark positioned lower than any of the other dies. In fact, it almost looks misplaced low.

As for the updates on coppercoins.com - I am reduced to a content writer because the code going on the machine is beyond my years of experience. The coders I have are working other jobs and don't have full time to devote to the site - alas, it will be done. No fine wine ages before its time.

1960D? I did not say anything about the 1960D?

I've been wondering if anyone had done something similar for some of the lower-mintage Mercury dimes. The four die pairs for 1916-D are well known, and none of them were used very long. Some of the other lowish-mintage dates have examples that show examples of late die state, so they might use a similarly small number of dies. For example, I've seen a number of 1921 dimes from a really heavily worn die that shows a strong clash (possibly multiple clashes). Most of the 1926-S dimes I see are in a somewhat late die state, so it may be a small number of dies used for the entire mintage. Also, it seems like the majority of 1931-D dimes I see have a filled mint-mark, and all of those might be from just one or two dies. |

chzman - The comparison was used because I thought you actually believed I had BU rolls of 1909S to go through. There isn't such a thing - at all. So I said these aren't 1960D - which is one of the most common coins left in BU rolls.
For the record, a BU roll of 1909S cents - if it existed - would sell for in excess of $50,000. An original unopened roll would sell for double that.
