Post Does anyone know this defect?
:?: Good day all;
I am looking at pennies now. I just ran across this 2009 lincoln with a strange rased area between the thumb and index finger on the left hand. Does any one know the defect?

Thank You;

Chuck Marks
:D

There's a reported Double Die of this area, and I wonder if this is a doubled thumb? I would like to see a clearer picture. It could be a new mint error variety.

There are quite a few thumb varieties known. I do not know if the top TPGS are grading these as an error though.

If it's a known mint error or recognized variety they will authenticate them. I think most are DDO and they will attribute them as such.

Here are a few more photos. It is the best I can do with what I have. The defect is a raised area between the thumb and index finger. It is just in the center between the two, not touching the thumb or index finger. There is a small space between defect and thumb. It moves out and up to the book spine

Post Re: Does anyone know this defect?
It's difficult to tell what it is. I wonder if it's not a die clash? How does the rest of the coin look? Is their any faint features on the reverse?

Thank you for taking your time to help me with this problem. The coin looks clean and clear , @ 10x power I can see what looks like a die crack at the top of Lincoln's head. I am going to try to take a photo of it and post it. I found in it a 50 roll box I got from the bank so it has been around the block a few times and has a few dings.

I see the die crack, and I wonder if the area by the thumb is another die crack, but in an earlier stage?

You might consider sending it to Ken Potter. I think he charges $5 for attribution of a new variety and it might be worth it. Whatever he says it is, and if it's significant, it will be posted on CONECA's website, and that would be a plus for the value of your coin. I see a lot of boot strap errors and one is listed on CONECA. It's a die crack on the boot, and you might have another error that might get a unique nickname.

Your welcome.

Hi,

Your coin appears to be one the 'extra fingers' varieties that have been popping up lately. The extra finger is caused by a DDR (doubled die reverse) and many different varieties have been noted. As for the line above Lincoln's head, I would say it's probably a die clash. Ken Potter would know for sure. Here's a link to an article about coins like yours:

Ever since this topic came up, I've been looking. And I'm a World Coin collector (16th to 19th century European coins), looks like I may be going through quite a few roll's of USA cents, looking for these errors.

I got the email. A new double die! I'm very happy for you. Will you send it to PCGS? It's going to be worth something, especially if a few more are found. I'm going to see what I can do to get some press. It will help the value.

For those who would like to know, Chuck found a new DDO variety, attributed by Ken Potter as VCR#8/DDR#8. This is a great find. So, keep searching those rolls!

Welcome to the forum!

Without a picture we can't say much, but it sounds like a contact mark, from another coin, as they where all dumped into the bags at the mint.

Yes, it could be some form of damage that occurred after it left the mint, or it could also be a genuine mint error. Pictures are always very important to determine whether or not any error coin is authentic.
