2003 and Later Error Cents

Ed, I think you missed my point. I am not saying that they would change things in an effort to do away with varieties. I am saying as their methods of producing coinage improves, some of the improvements might eliminate varieties. Just like with RPMs. The mint mark was placed on the master dies for efficiency and continuity purposes. The side effect is there are no longer RPMs. What if the mint started laser cutting the working dies rather than hubbing? The technology is already available. That would completely wipe out hub doubling, as well as speed up production.

Go one step further; completely eliminate dies and laser etch the planchets directly.

Either that or somebody got a heck of a deal.

Perhaps, but there was another sale that went for $3.50, so who knows. Could just be the season, eBay or whatever. Nothing seems to be getting the big bucks these days.

When I first read this thread 2 days ago I didn't have a later Lincoln error to contribute to the conversation, however, yesterday I found a 2004-P rotated die, approx 85 degrees. The 1st rotated die I have ever found. It's in the drink right now, but will post pics in a new thread later.

Here's a 2003 OC error I own.

Thad, is that circular line on the reverse incuse or raised? I'm curious as to what it is...

I have 3-2006's, 2-2002's, 3-2004's, 1-2005 and they are all about 10% off center, tough coins to locate in these dates.

I don't remember exactly but I think it's raised.
