koinpro Pillar of the Community United States 1781 Posts	Posted 05/28/2015 01:21 am I got two boxes of 500 each 1959 10c pieces as a Christmas present in 1995. I just found the gift box they were in. Checked about 25 pcs so far and found a lot of clashes (two decent ones). Hope to find doubled dies! Report this Post to the Staff

Sander Pillar of the Community Netherlands 561 Posts	Posted 05/28/2015 07:03 am I've seen indeed a lot of clashes by that type. There is a chance that you find one, I've found doubled dies on the 1 and 5 Pesetas coins from same time period.. Hope that you find a doubled die! Report this Post to the Staff

koinpro Pillar of the Community United States 1781 Posts	Posted 05/28/2015 09:01 am Thanks guys! For me it will be a few coins at a time. My hands start to cramp after about 25 coins, unless a roll, bag or box is jammed full of exciting die varieties! On second thought, I have six or seven bags of 1982-84 Mexican 50 Pesos jammed with doubled dies and I've only gone through one 500 piece bag so far after three years or so.

koinpro Pillar of the Community United States 1781 Posts	Posted 05/28/2015 12:44 pm I went through about 30-35 coins from each box today. About 50% are clashes but none particularly significant. One die gouge but not a big deal. Ohh well, may give up after a hundred of so from each box. Report this Post to the Staff

Quote: My hands start to cramp after about 25 coins I have good daylight lamps above my desk.. I put most of the time 15 or 20 from the same type in a row.. Then go with my loupe over them.. After that I flip them over, so then I can not miss 'big' die axis rotations.. And check all the reverse sides.. Only when I doubt I take them in my hand.. Saves me cramp..

koinpro Pillar of the Community United States 1781 Posts	Posted 05/28/2015 11:54 pm The first bag of Mexican 1982-84 50 peso was light and ended up only having 399 pieces. What I found was: 122 - 1984 1 - 1984 Clashed Dies 31 - 1983 1 - Vegas Casino Token The rest were 1982 broke down to this: 42 - Doubled Die Reverse (various dual hubbings from the below types -- not broken down by die yet) 67 - Widely Spaced Balls on Headdress 80 - Some Wide and other Close Spaced 53 - All Close Spaced Balls 2 - Far-from-top-of-Headdress Balls (apparently a scarce die design) All the doubled dies known for this issue have been broken down into die numbers in my Vising Varieties column in World Coin News many years ago -- to far back to remember when.

matttheriley Pillar of the Community United States 1512 Posts	Posted 10/30/2015 1:30 pm Ken, Do you happen to have an image of the 1982 Mexico $50 DDR? I have a handful of ones I want to confirm. Here is one. Report this Post to the Staff
