that the error is listed as a Wexler "Best of Variety" coin! <<<

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

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 in my book. The many 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.

The four different reverse side cents which commemorate Lincoln's birth bicentennial

were minted only in 2009. I was fortunate to find errors in plentiful supply from 2009

throughout 2013, in rolls that I still search today, and I continue to find errors.

It's fun to check out each coin from a fresh uncirculated roll, because you

never 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 errors

in all four series of 2009 Lincoln Bicentennial cents minted during this remarkably

prolific 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 kids

these days can only afford the entrance fee to coin shows, let alone the fantasy

of 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 shows that I

attended. It's still possible to find value in rolls of the 2009 Lincoln Cents on

eBay and other online auctions quite reasonably.

The coins included in this offer are worth many times their face value, all BU,

all inserted in inert cardboard or archivally safe and acid-free "SaFlips" flips,

immediately after I found them. My searches went on for four years until I felt

that I had enough research data to publish the book in 2013.

A good place to start looking for doubled die errors in the 2009 cents is with rolls

of Formative Years cents from the Philadelphia Mint LP2 Boxes. A good 10x

or higher power loupe, and a stereoscope meant for coin collectors helps magnify

the tiny errors and make them a lot easier to discern and attribute.

If you are lucky you might find virgin and perhaps even unsearched rolls which came

directly from bank boxes, or sold 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 (and obverse) varieties of doubled die errors,

some think that many 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 bicentennial,

were minted only in 2009. In order to have a complete set of Lincoln Cents

minted in 2009, you must have all twenty (20) varieties.
