My Very 1st Error Coin Found

I have finally found my very first indisputable error coin while search through a bag of un-searched wheats last night. Not in the best condition but my best find so far:hail:

nice and clear doubling on the MM.

neat!

 

I hate to tell you this but i dispute you error claim! A repunched mint mark is not an error, it is a variety as it occurs on EVERY cent minted by that die.

That is a nice 1956-1MM-001

I stand corrected

Thank you for the correction and the link !

 

I like it and it is a repunched mint mark but still has value!

 

LOVE IT! usually dont like the error coins like this with double images but this one is crisp and clear! nice find my man.

 

Nice that gives me a clear view what to look for, good luck with getting a nice deal for that cloin.

 

Finding your first error, variety or whatever coin is always a thrill you'll remember for a long time. Enjoy it, and keep on searching. There are many worthwhile coins to find.

I like it congrats on your find

 

thanks to all the kind compliments in this thread .. believe me I will keep searching.

 

That's a nice RPM, very strong! Congrats!

 

Congrats!! I've found a few die breaks (all on 2009's) but am still searching for my first "big" error.

 

Well done. Nice find!

 

Cool find.

Cool find. I think you already have this link: http://www.coppercoins.com/lincoln/dietype.php?date=1956&die_mint=d&die_type=mm&page=0

How many cents did you search so far & what kind of magnification are you using? I found it best for me to first sort the cents by date & then look very carefully at each coin in each batch. I would study all the 1956-D RPMs on the Web & then look through all the 1956-D coins.

 

nice find, congrats, keep searching

 

Nice spread.I consider it a Mint error,and variety,the error is the fact the mint worker made an error and tried to fix it,and it was only on that specific die,which may or may not have been used for a short or long term,variety in the fact it isnt the only type for the year.nice find.

 

Cool Find. It inspires others to keep looking through those boxes and bags.

 

That cent was found in a bag of 2500 unsearched wheats. I was in the process of separating the bag into teens , twenties , thirties , forties , fifties , steels , "S" mint marks & IHC's. I got a whole bunch of good stuff out of that bag and filled many holes in my wheat collection and upgraded many of my existing coins. I use a magnifying glass that has a 3x spot within the 2x field and then a 10x spot in the handle. I use a Logitech HD 9000 pro webcam in macro mode to view the coins on my LCD without having to use the magnifying glass.

When some folks turned me onto CopperCoin.com , I discovered that there were many many varieties that I never would have thought to look for.
Fortunately I saved all my wheats and they are already sorted by decade.

Believe me , I will be re-searching my wheats as I continue to gain knowledge.
