How many different obverse dies were used for the 1877's not including the proof dies? Thanks in advance.

Number of Proof dies:
3 obverse & 3 reverse (avg 303 per var.).

Regular issue:
2 obverse die & 1 reverse die.

Total coins struck in 1877: 825,500. Average number of coins struck from a single die throughout the Indian head series = 200,000 coins.

Rick Snow basically concludes that there are either other dies or there really weren't 825,500 Indian cents struck that year ...

I was aware of the 2 & 1 on the biz strikes but not 3 & 3 on the proofs. Thanks!

That explains alot to me. I always thought there was only 1 obverse die used. I've been trying to use the date as a diagnosis to counterfeits. No wonder its been giving me a tough time. Thanks guys.
