The Mint must be working the dies to death. There are already at least two errors that have showed up on the 2009 Cent. Die crack on the reverse: Die crack on the obverse:
david, Thanks for the info! However, my bet is that everyone will be searching for Doubled Dies! I have requested some rolls of the new Lincoln Cents and hope that the price is not what is being seen on eBay already! Frank
Cool. These will be another ebay craze that will end in disappointment once everyone discovers there are more than what was originally believed.
My 2009 roll I may have to open my roll and check it. but I want to get a few more roll of type 1 P&D before I open the 1 roll I have
Hey pass some over to me Jello how did you get them ,from the mint or the bank i can;t get them in my area? Alien JAZEC
Here's a possible third "error". It just looks like bag marks but the owner claims he got it from a roll and the entire roll has the same markings on each coin. Maybe a defective die.
I broke down and opened my roll Here the only thing I found. a coin that that is only 2.41 gram and zinc showing.I am going to post picture in the error section.
Just a fast question. Four series of reverses, one each quarter. Are all three mints involved in each series? That would be 4 X 3 = 12 to collect, then, right, when it's all said and done? Just inquiring about the business/circulation strikes, now...
:loud:Cracks are damage to the die. It's the normal wear of the dies. Many will say it's a error and even list them on e-bay as such, but for the serious collector it's damage.
