Hey fellow members, first timer here to this forum and any forum really. Newbie lincoln cent collector
I got started by coincidence actually, found and old army medical box in my mother's laundry room that had been just sitting there for about 8 years, an ex- bf of hers had left it there after moving out. Well around 2010 moved states to where my mother was living In, I hadn't been toner house in 10 years. While helping her do some spring cleaning I found the box, opened it up and found about 500 wheat and memorial cents from 1909- 1989. Almost every year was in that box in every condition possible, there was a significant amount of 1969,1970& 1971 all mints in excellent condition, about a dozen steels, and one Indian head crom1899.At that time I wasn't aware or even knew about coin errors. So I took the box and stored it away for 8 years. About 2 years ago I revisited the box after seeing an article talking about coin errors and their value... so I began going through the coins, looking for errors, no luck, but I began checking every coin that landed in my pocket and educating myself on coin errors and varieties, I ended up finding some error coins in that box after all, nothing to retire on but the best part was finding the first one. Priceless. Ok so Just a little or a lot about me... well like i said I check every coin that goes into my pocket and I happen to find this 2022 D cent... is this an error coin.. what is the correct terminology to.describe this. Thank you ahead of time for your responses or comments. I look forward to learning more and making new friends. Gracias.
