[QUOTE="PlanoSteve, post: 3038523, member: 91609"]So I heard from a very reputable source (no, no one on this site) that the Mint is going to borrow from the NCAA's acceptance of the "One & Done" philosophy: They developed the technology to make a one time use die ("One & Done"), & the ability to tweak each one "just a little". The test run will be the entire 4,723,562,001 Philadelphia cent mintage for 2019. This will result in 4,723,562,001 die varieties. They recognize this will essentially eliminate the existence of the worn die "errors", but they figure the additional varieties will help spark an interest in Zincolns for new collectors. While they are cognizant of the fact that each coin will be unique unto itself, they are apparently not concerned that someone may try to hoard the entire run. They are also toying with the idea of tweaking the metal content on some of the run, to change the cent colors, so as to (as they succinctly put it) "screw with those old timey collectors". It is so!!!! :jawdrop::eek::confused::cyclops::rolleyes:[/QUOTE]
