Message:: [QUOTE="yummy money, post: 1159812, member: 29445"]I'm gonna shoot that statement down by saying....if there was anything close to that amount made, more would have been found since there arelike at least 1/2 million coin collectors out there who do nothing but go to banks for change to look for any errors...this is how most and new errorsor variations are found. Also Collector's do this to complete coin sets or find silver etc.So therefore a huge portion of collector's know about this coin since they have a coin book & magnify glass...."duh" bi-winning, thanks Charlie.So more would have been found since collector's of coins know what they are looking for when they search for change.I think the real problem is the P Mint. I believe all these coins have been found in the northeast.I keep hearing Massachusetts & connecticut. Anyways I just found this article below.There are no Mint records or reports indicating why any "1992-P" or "1992-D Close AM" Lincoln cents were produced. However, since there was a reverse design transition between 1992 and 1993, this is the most plausible cause. Therefore, the 1992 cents with a reverse of 1993 or the "1992" and "1992-D Close AM" cents are more than likely transitional coins as the new reverse design of 1993 was probably being used on a few 1992 and 1992-D cents as test strikes.Several "1992-D Close AM" Lincoln cents have sold in the past for a couple thousand dollars even in grades of AU. The current example of the "1992 Close AM" is at least ten times scarcer than the "1992-D Close AM" and would probably easily bring well over $5,000 and maybe up to $10,000.[/QUOTE]
