1909 Penny Famous for Controversy

Additionally, “the 1909 S version was the first year of the Lincoln coin. Almost immediately upon release the public made complaints about Brenner’s initials (V.D.B.) on the back of the Lincoln cent, because the initials are located under the wheat stalks.”

After the location of the V.D.B. initials attracted public scrutiny, the U.S. Mint responded to the criticism by removing the initials entirely. “Thus the result some 1909 Lincoln cents bear the V.D.B. initials, and others do not.” – the-sun.com

Collectible 1909 Penny Varieties

Additionally, “instead of placing the initials elsewhere with new dies, mint employees simply removed them entirely from die. This produced a new variety of 1909 cents without the V.D.B.

Furthermore, as new dies were being prepared, the designer’s initials on the old dies were removed by crude tooling. 1909 pennies struck by these altered dies are highly sought-after.” – error-ref.com

1909 V.D.B. Struck Through Reverse Error

What caused this coin to catch my eye first, is that the V.D.B. initials appear as a struck through grease error. Moreover, I wouldn’t have noticed the V.D.B. without a microscope, because the initials aren’t as visible to the naked eye.

Was this 1909 V.D.B. penny deliberately struck through from crude tools used to remove the initials? Was it an unintentional error? Additionally, feel free to contact me with your thoughts about it.

Rare Error & Variety Collectible Coins

I was lured into the lucrative hobby of coin collecting after hearing the memo about the Great American Coin Hunt and West Point quarters in December of 2019. When I first got started searching for collectible coins, I became more ecstatic as I made discoveries for myself. Who doesn’t love a good treasure hunt?

Furthermore, I invested in the coin examination supplies necessary for identifying coin errors and varieties. Essentially, I started writing this blog about my experiences of finding, researching, and identifying coin errors and varieties found in circulation.

Interacting with and learning from others in the coin industry has for the most part been a pleasant experience for me. However, coin collecting books are still very helpful references, and examining coins is a peaceful activity.

Embracing the Coin Hobby

Furthermore, I’m a fairly quick study, but I’m constantly learning something new every day. Therefore I encourage everyone to get more than one opinion. Join coin groups, forums, and communities, and go to all the coin shows scheduled near you. Whatever you decide to do with what you find, enjoy the hunt!

Great American Coin Hunt the Largest Treasure Hunt of All Time

“The Great American Coin Hunt rallied hundreds of coin dealers and thousands of collectors to benefit the coin hobby. The goal simultaneously encouraged new collectors to look at their change for rare coin specimens. Basically, the plan was to disperse over one million rare and valuable collectible coins into circulation.

Additionally, everyone who participated created their own way of helping out. Hiding coins in public places, like Easter eggs. The US Mint created West Point quarters for circulation, which had never been done before.

Furthermore, companies like NGC, PCGS, Littleton Coin Company, and ANA, all participated with their own creative programs. It’s been said that this was the largest numismatic promotional program of all time.” – Rob Oberth – (“Coin Dealers Helping Coin Dealers”)

The Booming Business of Numismatics

Have you found or inherited a unique rare coin or collection of them you’d like to sell? “There are at least 5,000 active coin companies in the United States. Moreover, they range in size from one-man operations to multi-national juggernauts with hundreds of employees.

Additionally, there are at least 10 to 15 companies with sales exceeding $100 million per year. APMEX alone once touted annual sales approaching $2 billion or more.” – Jeff Garrett – rarecoingallery.com

Earn Money Flipping Coins

“It is quite funny how under the radar the rare coin business operates. I still get odd looks when I meet someone for the first time, and they ask what I do for a living. More than once, people have asked me if someone can make living selling coins. Happily, I have been doing so for over 40 years!” – Jeff Garrett

2019 Error Penny: Coin Plating Errors

2019 Shield cent errors and varieties exist! For example, this 2019-D Lincoln cent specimen is a rare partially plated planchet mint error cent coin. Have you found any rare pennies like this 2019 error penny?

Furthermore, it’s known as “incomplete plating,” and “occurs when a zinc cent planchet is not fully coated with copper in the plating bath. As a result, the zinc core remains exposed.” – CoinWorld

For instance, the partially unplated zinc planchet error shows how the copper plating didn’t completely cover the planchet, as seen in the images of this 2019 shield penny error.

“This type of plating error coincides with the introduction of copper-plated zinc cents in 1982.”

“As with any denomination cent weights can vary, with some falling above or below the mean.”

It’s therefore possible to encounter a genuine unplated cent that matches or exceeds the weight of a normal cent.” In other words, this coin weighed about average. Furthermore, the zinc Lincoln cent coin is 97.5% zinc and 2.5% copper.

“The copper-plating operation of copper coated zinc planchets is done outside the Mint, by an outside supplier. Partial and 100% unplated cents are much scarcer than many collectors realize.” – Fred Weinberg

Partially Unplated Planchet Error Penny Values

Zinc cent plating planchet errors have attained interest through eye appeal to numerous variety and error coin collectors. For example, a rare 1992-D partially unplated Lincoln cent mint error coin graded MS66 by NGC, sold at auction for $85.00.

A rare 1983 Lincoln Cent Partially Unplated Penny graded MS65, sold at auction for $225.00! Moreover, partially unplated coin errors sell from a few dollars up to thousands, even in raw condition.

Finding One Cent Errors & Varieties

I recommend joining a few coin collecting groups and online coin forums to ask any questions about your coins. You won’t know what you’ve found unless you ask around. The more eyes on your coin the better.

Moreover, the coin hobby isn’t just an activity, it’s a community. Manners matter so be civil! Furthermore, the best chance of finding a doubled die variety coin or error penny just like this exquisite 2019 Lincoln shield cent, is by searching through uncirculated original wrapped bank rolls for them.

Coin Hunting Tips

Additionally, if you’re new to coin collecting, remember to save any wheat pennies you start finding, because you can already trade them in for double their face value in any United States coin shop!

Furthermore, searching 2019 mint sets for varieties and errors ensures a high mint state grade coin. For example, observe a 2003 S Maine proof struck through string state quarter error.

Moreover, some wheat pennies may turn out to be worth far more money, especially if found out to be a rare Cherrypicker, or otherwise famous die variety. For instance, check out this 1957 D RPM Variety Lincoln Wheat Cent.

Watch the examination footage of this 2019 Lincoln shield cent planchet plating coin error in the video above. Then, learn more about “diagnostics of fake and genuine unplated zinc cents,” as discussed by CONECA. Happy hunting!

“A repunched mint mark variety is generated when the letter punch used to punch the mint mark into the working die leaves two or more offset impressions.” – error-ref.com

Furthermore, mint mark impressions almost always overlap. “A totally separate secondary mint mark is a rarity, and therefore a very valuable penny. The era of RPM’s ceased in 1989 when the U. S. Mint began placing the mint mark on the master die instead of punching the mint mark into the working die.”

Furthermore, most complete planchet misfeeds don’t result in clashed dies since dies normally don’t touch each other in the absence of a planchet. Moreover, dies operate with a safety margin referred to as minimum die clearance or minimum die distance.”

In order for dies to clash, the dies must fall out of adjustment, making the minimum clearance zero (or less than zero).” – error-ref.com.
