Here is Yaha's New Error Discovery for the 2009 Formative Rail Splitter lincoln penny.

Can someone guide me to the person to get credit for my discovery of this error.. thanks I emailed Mr. Potter but no response yet.
Pics enclosed.


Error is somekind of cud or die break on the C in the word cents on the reverse..

Sorry for the one pic.. Pcgs has that size limit and I went over on the others.

    Yaha if I were you I would get it on the bay as quickly as possible to get the moon money for it. The log cabin die cracked ones started out great but are now a dime a dozen. If you only have the one then I would hold onto it, but I doubt your is the only one out there and it may go down in price due to so many of them going to flood the market soon.

    Seems like a rip off, you could probably get a dime for 10 of them at your local bank.

    Hah, I was joking, he said they were a dime a dozen! A dozen pennies are worth 12 cents face value, if you were only getting 10 cents for a dozen of them you're getting ripped off...

    OK, so far I have found 6.

    I checked them out with bare eyes, they are visible.

    16x loup, looks rather obvious.

    At 200X, its an exact match to Yahas pic and given that we have found at this point, what, a dozen, would this be called a variety?

    I would say yes, but other more experienced folks please chime in and let me know.

    Yaha, are you going to submit your coin ?

    Logs like the C is being chopped similar to the way a tree is notched for cutting down.

    Chopped C?

    I am going to meet with a local error guy who has done nothing but look at odd coins for his entire collection.

    He has been doing it for years and I will see what he says. I guess its either a chip or a cud.

    WHERE is Error maven??????

    The pics aren't the best but it looks like a simple die chip. It is not really an unusual occurrence for a die chip to form on a well-worn die. Honestly it's not the sort of thing I could get very excited about, other than because it is on a brand new issue.

    Why would so many early on have this?

    Just curious. Alos, this would be a variety, right?

    It doesn't take long to wear out a die on the new high-speed presses. Even if a die is able to strike a million coins (which is probably too high an estimate), it would only take three eight-hour shifts to exhaust a die's full life. The Mint stockpiles millions of coins before releasing them into circulation, so even the very first day's issue could come from very worn dies.



    << <i>Just curious. Also, this would be a variety, right? >>



    Yes, it is considered a die variety, since every coin struck by that particular die will exhibit the same characteristics.

    Thats cool to know.

    I very much appreciate the reply.

    I think Yaha should get a pic to Coneca. Its a cool thing to see on the first day of a release. Not bad for ordinary rolls....

    Very cool to find on the first day! But, a dozen (perhaps more) in the first few hours, not much more than a coolness factor, as I see it, but I have been wrong (like passing on the 'Wounded Eagle' when they were first out, when they were cheap). Not knocking it at all...I wish I had a roll, hell, even a single coin to look at!

    It's okay, I think you have to say her name in a mirror three times to summon her. Besides, I'm fairly confident that her interest in the hobby was shipped away with her last example of the variety.

    Considering that it is a die chip, I would have said that it was a die state, rather than a die variety. There could be coins struck from the same die before the chip was formed.

    Seems to be a lot of issues with this one..... I saw one listed on the bay with a "bookmark" & a pretty cool "UN-split Log".

    The book error and unsplit log is from a different die than Yaha's find (Cud/Die Chip on C?)

    I think at first it was thought that both were from the same die in a progressively worse state.

    I found both errors and viewed under 10-30x magnification and they display different die markers.

    The filled or unsplit log type (also has the book error) has a die crack from the C in AMERICA travelling N-NE to the RIM. Yaha's type does not show this die crack.
