I just got thin in the mail as a complete surprise from a good friend. He said have fun searching it hahahahahahah lol. Well I guess I know what I am doing for the next couple of days. If I find anything I will update the post with them. Is there any way to know anything about the box from the number on the bottom?

you basically need to check every square micrometer of each of those coins for doubled dies.

Oh here we go, let me get the shovel.
All you need is a 5x magnifier. I challenge anyone to look at the fine detail of any penny without one.
Look on the reverse, at the hand that holds the book. That's where ALL the reverse doubled dies are located.

Anything else is not worth picking out and saving so save yours eyes and your time right up front.
die crack varieties. Have you identified anything yet from Wexler's website? You do want to read the long ongoing thread "2009 lincoln formative / Lp2 mint boxes / proof sets /
doubled die errors" that will provide you with more on the subject. Have fun! A doubled thumbs up to ya!
If someone thinks they are cool more power to them to collect but the naritive always seams to get back to investment potential around these parts. What do I know
pictures for illustration) these with commentary from the publisher which raises the level of interest for all variety hobbyists. Enjoy the search and again if you have more interest in
learning about these varieties come over to our thread. Become a doubled-die hard! There are a lot of pics, opinions (pro and con), insights into which lp2 boxes yield the best errors, etc.
Your friend obviously knows something about the formative cent errors and knows you have an interest...hence the gift. Good luck in your search!
p.s. you are correct about bulk sales adding up...some have made thousands of dollars selling these at $5-$20 each as raw samples.
<< <i>a current date (2009) penny that is selling for $5.00 or more is not that bad if you sell 100 of them lol oohhhh milk duds i havent had those for years.... >>
I do not think one could sell 100 of these is a compact amount of time for $5 each. The few that did sell would most likely be to the same 5-6 eBay IDs.
the challenge now is to find a coin with few hits and few spots.
these are reverse dd's
Onedollar is correct, join the club.
