<< <i>How much will people buy bulk errors for ? say I found 100 of these or something and wanted to offload ? >>
Pick a number... someone paid $750.00 for this:
UP FOR AUCTION: 25 FORMATIVE YEAR LINCOLN CENTS, ALL WITH DOUBLING ON REVERSE. EVERY ONE OF THESE COINS WILL SHOW DOUBLING ON "ONE CENT" "UNITED" , AND "UNUM". MANY WILL ALSO SHOW SLIGHT DOUBLING ON RIGHT LEG.
I WAS ABLE TO HAVE PHOTO TAKEN PROFESSIONALLY WITH AMBIENT LIGHT ONLY, AS DIGITAL MICROSCOPES AND SCANNERS DISPLAY A LOT OF GLARE AND DO NOT ACCURATELY SHOW ERROR. ALL 25 COINS WILL HAVE DOUBLING THAT WILL LOOK EXACTLY LIKE THE DOUBLING IN PHOTOS, WITH THE ONLY EXCEPTION BEING THE AMOUNT OF DOUBLING IN THE RIGHT LEG
So I have a dumb question : I have a box unopened from the mint which was mailed 5-21 which was received by me 5-29. How do I know how my shipment fits in with the possible error dates published here???

I have looked Hi and Lo for a date on the box/labels. NONE! It was shipped FedEx smart post and then USPS for final delivery... If only I could decipher those bar codes???
Maybe we are talking about two different boxes? The box that I posted the picture of is what the Mint packages the rolls in. I think the box you may be referring to is the box that the white Mint box gets put into when shipped.
I see there is a Coin World front page story on these cents. I only have a subscription to Numismatic News. Does anybody have an online subscription to Coin World and can post the story for us????
I had previously opened a box of 4/23 and got zero.
I opened the other 4 rolls.
2 rolls with an 001 on one end and a 002 on the other end which I decided not to open up at this point. 3 other rolls gave me 24-001's and 25-002's and 10 other minor errors. Not a bad score.
So, serious question.. Since Mr. Crawford has verified these as DD1,2,3,4 will they hold water in a slab from ANACS OR NGC as such..
I have known in the past that ANACS always sends their coins out to be verified as to the finding of one expert at CONECA, but why would they if Mr.Crawford has already found them to be a DD.
Lastly has Mr. Crawford deemed any names for each find.. Are they called Extra Thumb, Finger, Devils Finger, or what.. thanks for the help.. If it has already been mentioned, I am sorry but please do follow up.. George

<< <i>one box opened 4-28 eleven double thumbs four more boxes left
I got 10 boxes 4/28 coming. Glad to see these are yielding something.

<< <i>one box opened 4-28 eleven double thumbs four more boxes left
So far, that is the only variety I've found. Does it have an 'official' number assigned to it? Came from a 4/21 dated box.
me 5-29. How do I know how my shipment fits in with the possible error dates published here???

The date on the box is what you are looking for.

Bottom right.
Thanks much. Our labels are way different. Still no date on the bottom right; just an "001 10N"
I guess I'll just have to open the box up ans see!
So I should open the mint sealed outer box after all. Thanks Much!!!
