Wow, I would never known a 1982 doudle die would end on the cover of an mag. It must an very special coin. I am amazed it never found before since that coin is over 25 years old.

This is so exciting! I'm so glad I started revisiting the forum in time for this. I'm so amazed at Chuck's low estimate of possible surviving examples. This will a very rare variety for a long time. I also just remembered that no mint sets were issued in 82 and 83 except for the privately assembled ones, which would further lessen the chances of uncirculated examples I would think. Ziggy, may I call you Ziggy?  I was going to ask if you were going to change your avatar, but I see you already have! |

For those that don't know he writes the "Found in Rolls" column for Coin World.
Also for those who don't know he goes by the nick "foundinrolls" here on CC also and was one of the two experts that replied quickly to ziggy's post about his newly discovered find, I can't wait to see his post in Coin World about this particular variety. I love to see this small forum and its members getting all this publicity and think about all the new members this could possibly bring to the forum Edited by Bryan1315

This is a great thing for CC, because it will increase membership since once people join and realize how great this place it they will stay.

Bill wrote a nice column about this and I was looking forward to seeing it in print but when the powers that be at Coin World read it they decided it was too big for Bill's column and assigned it to a staff writer. I believe it will be in the next issue (if he got it written quick enough). Richard |

the thing he wrote was to big for his column or the coin was to big of news for his column?

Great find for sure. Now just imagine how many will be saying "why didn't I look at the reverse of all my 82's?"
One more for a third revision to Chuck's book.

The article is in the Oct 8 issue of Coin World, starting on page 5. It is a long article, but sadly CC is not mentioned, except a vague reference to "an electronic forum." |

I cannot say there will be no third edition of Looking Through Lincoln Cents, but I can say that I have no plans to put out a third edition. My writing focus now is on the following: 1. The new book we have discussed that focuses attention on worthless pocket change that people mistake for valuable errors and varieties. 2. My ongoing loose leaf book, A Complete Attribution Guide to Lincoln Cent Die Varieties. 3. The fifth edition of Sol Taylor's "Standard Guide to the Lincoln Cent". As far as I am concerned at this time, Looking Through Lincoln Cents, is complete and finished as it exists. There might be room for a third edition after the anniversary of 2009, depending on what happens to the cent at that time. |
