1995 D error Penny HALF BLACK BEAUTY 63 million to one odds of another existing

Description: Usually I just ignore pennies, nickels and dimes in my day to days, so this one's error has to be bold to warrant my attention. Here is a 1995 D penny half of the front is very dark while the reverse has minor spots on same error side making it one quarter BLACK BEAUTY, also on rear the letter E in ONE and the letter N in cent appear fine to the naked eye but weak in photos. Calculating exact odds of another coin with this error depends upon many unknown factors thus it cannot be done, lotteries and trading card companies can give more accurate percentages because they control the making of "the prizes" in a closed information pool, however we can get an estimated formula by using a baseline of facts we do know, The Denver Mint produced 7,128,560,000 (7 billion 128 million 560 thousand) 1995 Lincoln pennies, at that time the Denver Mint had a defect ratio of 25.1% (currently upgrades to their processes happen every 7 years, the last three were in 2007, 2014 and 2021 which is why you see fewer errors today where their error ratio is now point seven of one percent) but the 1995 unknown error ratio stops us here. All errors are defects but not all defects are errors, of the 7 plus billion pennies produced with a defect ratio of 25.1% means there were 1,789,268,560 (1 billion 789 million 268 thousand and 560) defects most of which would have been filtered away by the existing inspection processes, by using the 1995 known 74.9% accuracy coin ratio on the total defects and again on that sum gives the estimated odds of a similar error at 63 million to one. Isn't math fun? Free US shipping, international buyers are at the mercy of eBay's set policies I have no control over.
