An Introduction To 2009 Lincoln Cent Errors by James A. Porter

Description: "An Introduction To 2009 Lincoln Cent Errors by James A. Porter" This book details almost everything you would need to know in searchingfor and attributing 2009 Lincoln Cent Doubled Die and other Errors. With207 pages, hundreds of photos, valuable data from actual opened and searched LP1, LP2, LP3 and LP4 Mint boxes, listed by their issue dates and box lot codes. Most of the known Formative Years doubled die errors from U.S. Mint "LP" boxes appear with predictable regularity in the boxes listed in my book's search results. Everyone knows now that the famous "Skeleton Finger" WDDR-006 is in the boxes from 4-23-2009, but only in certain time and box code ranges. The book tells you exactly where I found most of the doubled die errors. >>> NOTE: With this deal you get a copy of my book, signed. <<< In my book are the types of tools that one will need to see and attribute these microscopic errors more easily, as well as camera technique you may use to a produce a more saleable image in online auctions. You can predictably find the doubled die and other errors in the boxes listed by date and lot numbers. Themany different types of errors are predictably found, as they were concentrated by error type in certain time periods conveniently printed on the ends of the Mint boxes. They can be very reliably found using the charts and data in this book. It's fun to check out each coin from a fresh uncirculated roll, because younever know what kind of error you may find in your first, or in your 51st roll!Roll searching has become a popular and compelling pastime for families in these strange days. Over five years in the making, opening hundreds of LP boxes, I intended for my book to be a reference to help collectors to find specific doubled die errorsin all four series of 2009 Lincoln Bicentennial cents minted during this remarkablyprolific year for Mint errors and lower-mintage cents. In the course of analyzing these errors, I also tried to educate the novice numismatist, without providing too much tedious information that only professionals commonly use. I have heard from many adults and kids who have bought my book and have had a lot of fun together searching for errors. To my relief in 2009, I thought, "Finally, a new hobby within numismatics that is affordable enough to keep younger collectors occupied and happy!" Most kidsthese days can only afford the entrance fee to coin shows, let alone the fantasyof buying a coin that's worth anything for a few bucks. Not that it can't be done,but the "pickins" are getting slim in the bargain bins the last few coin shows that I attended. It's still possible to find value in rolls of the 2009 Lincoln Cents on eBay and on other online auctions quite reasonably. The coins described in this book are worth many times their face value. Over theyears since 2009, the value of these errors has remained quite stable. My searches went on for four years until I felt that I had enough research data to publish the book in 2013. Many collectors have told me that my book was instrumental in finding and then selling the found errors online as a business. A good place to start looking for doubled die errors in the 2009 cents is with rollsof Formative Years cents from the Philadelphia Mint. A good 10x loupe or even better, a good stereoscope meant for coin collectors, helps magnify the tiny errors. If you are lucky you might find virgin and perhaps even unsearched rolls which camedirectly from bank boxes or selling online in auctions and "buy it now" venues.In 2009 the U.S. Mint-issued Lincoln Cent two-roll sets (LP1, LP2, LP3 and LP4) contain many of the four different reverse varieties of doubled die errors, some thinkmany more errors come from these rolls than from the dwindling supply of fresh unopened and unsearched bank box rolls. I think they both provide equal numbers of Mint errors. The four different reverse side cents which commemorate Lincoln's birth bicentennialwere minted only in 2009. I was fortunate to find errors in plentiful supply from 2009 throughout 2013, in rolls that I still search today I continue finding errors each year. I hope that the hobby of numismatics continues to interest younger collectors, and I feel that the search for the elusive 2009 doubled die errors is a fun and compelling way to do this during the pandemic. One nice thing to consider about handling copper, it has terrific *antibacterial properties! I hope that you will consider my book to introduce you to this fascinating niche in numismatics! *"antimicrobial copper is able to kill >99.9% of bacteria within 2 h of contact." - Wikipedia
