Hi - I have a few mint bags that I am trying to decide whether to search through or not for doubled dies. Most of these have dates written on the front of them. Can anyone tell me what the date ranges were for the production/discovery of various doubled dies, especially in mint bags? I am particularly interested in the following dates:

1972
1980
1983
1984
1995

Any help would be much appreciated! Thank you!

Kevin

    ...speaking of doubled dies, did anyone read bowers column in coin world? he wrote about the 55 DD back in

    the day and how he had 800 on hand at one time in his shop. he spoke of them costing 25 cents each at one time

    and were considered expensive! interesting for sure! image
