But the numbers for each individual die is not know. The way to tell how many were struck is by the die states of the coin struck. If few are found in later die states, the die may have been pull or retired early. If you find VLDS coin with that variety, then the dies made a full run. Report this Post to the Staff
Pete2226 Pillar of the Community United States 3330 Posts	Posted 07/16/2015 4:14 pm There are some sources for variety rarity levels: one I have found is here: http://www.numismaster.com/ta/numis...ticleId=9805 Another more complete list may be found in Coin Digest by Harper and Miller. I just figured out that these 2 are basically the same resource with the book containing a more complete list. The online source lists one Division (number II) the book has 5 divisions.
