 One of our members (Chuck) posted a question, and a picture, on our forum (view thread) about a possible 2009 Rail Splitter Lincoln Cent “defect”. I informed Chuck that it appears to be a doubling error, and other members expressed interest in this find. He sent the coin to Ken Potter , famous variety and mint error authenticator, and he verified this cent as a new variety. It appears to be an “extra digit” mint error, not see before.

I congratulate Chuck on his great find and gaining a little piece of his own numismatic history! He is a fine gentleman and fully deserves the kudos. If you think you have discovered a new variety or mint error, post it here on our forum. CoinHELP! forum
