<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Beefer518, post: 3033502, member: 87737&quot;]If you have a 1983 or newer Lincoln cent, or a 1982 Lincoln cent that is of the zinc variety that you found with weirdness, you can pretty much rest assured that it is NOT a mint error. </p><p><br /></p><p>There were <font size="4"><b>320,228,284,932</b></font> Lincoln cents minted from 1983 through 2016, not including proofs. That&#039;s <b><span style="color: #ff0000">320 BILLION</span></b> cents.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chances of winning Powerball is 1:292,000,000 (1 in 292 million)</p><p><br /></p><p>What do you think the odds are that the 1986 Lincoln cent you found in the parking lot of your local grocery store is an error coin?</p><p><br /></p><p>Point is, before you post a Lincoln cent that looks like it got run over by the President&#039;s motorcade, think about it, and think how what you are looking at could have been caused at/by the mint or minting process.</p><p><br /></p><p>Oh, and in my opinion, all Zincolns are errors - it was a mistake for the Mint to produce these, and think it was a good idea.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
