It's only this particular die pair that shows this error. So yes, they're all 2001-P. The reverse die is marked by peculiar, semicircular die cracks that run though the small stars. Both dies are deformed. The reverse die was sunken-in, creating a convex reverse face. The obverse die bulged out a bit, creating a slightly concave obverse. This error is unique among U.S. coins, although it has been seen in one privately issued replica of a 1943 copper cent. I wrote up this die error in a past issue of Errorscope.
