<p>[QUOTE="Oldmismatist, post: 773509, member: 22378"]I have about 20 of those, 30 extra finger, 32 whiskers, and dozens of the die clash near lincoln's right index finger, and one skeleton. But I like my 2009 mint set with the double thumb the best. However, to answer your question...I know there are less than 100,000 because that is the magic number of strikes any die pair can make before being changed out, as I understand it from a mint tour. So less than 100,000? Not sure if that helps, but the mint numbers reported in Coin World for the Formative Years P Minted cent is 376 million. So percentage wise...if there were 25,000 it would be about .006%. Of the mintage...that is not a bad number. Are they readily available now...absolutely, will they be readily available when my son turns 40 in thirty years...I don't think so. In addition...the mintage for the P mint Presidency is 130 Million which you would have to go back to the 1955s to find a lower mintage cent.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
