Lincoln Cent Error Coin Guide


Book Description

No other coin series supplies more error types than the Lincoln cent. From the first date of 1909, the S mintage contained coins with horizontal S mintage. Almost every year minted contains a doubling error, some more pronounced than others. Lincoln cent error coins are valued by the extent of the doubling on the coin. The most valuable error cents have doubling on the obverse that is pronounced with lettering or numbering clearly separated. Examples of very pronounced double die cents are the 1955, 1969-S, and 1972 coins.
