matttheriley - you did a decent job with your analysis. You have some varieties that I am not tracking/collecting. The only one I have listed that you do not is the 2008 Non magnetic. I own one bought on ebay. I believe it is a proof from a year set. |

Interesting, I did not realize there was a 2008 non-mag! It's not listed on the C&C site. Do you have a reference for it?

Just checked my folder and it looks like I have a proof for the 2008 non-mag space. I remember looking this up before and all the information I could find led me to believe they were only available in proof sets.  |

If I were collecting that list, the first thing I would do is delete every "variety" off of it that starts with "hanging" or "double"...but that's just me :)

The hangers are actually my favorite variety :). The doubling I could do without but still collect them just for completion lol.

You can look at what is contained in the various PCGS registry set collections. They have a set for most type of collections. I have a similar opinion to 1cent, hangers, doubling etc... are not my thing, but to each their own. I don't think the PCGS sets include different metal compositions, but you can start with them and add to your own list from there. http://www.pcgs.com/setregistry/set...n.aspx?c=383They also have sets based on monarch, date range, finish etc... My long term objective is a complete Business Strike set from the basic PCGS list + a few other varieties that I find interesting, 2 years in, 40 more years to go. |

I do not know why you put that Proof coin in your folder? You should carefully remove it without touching the coin and place it in a coin capsule. If you leave it in that folder, it is going to get damaged. It may already have issues.

I know you guys like to collect the hangers, but are they not machine damage? I only collect a few main error varieties, or I avoid them altogether. However, I know that error collector purest do not collect machine damage coins. What I mean, in case you do not know, is that some errors are where the die was doubled or had an error on it, so every coin minted with that die came out with the error. Machine damaged errors are where the machine slips or strikes a coin twice to cause a doubling effect or something of that nature. Die errors are very rare, and often command larger monetary values. Machine damage is rare, but far more common, and often are not collected. For instance, if you find the 1969-S Lincoln Cent with a true doubled die it is worth $25,000, but if you find the more common Machine Doubling variety, it is worth $1 to the average collector and nothing to the purest error collector. |

Hangers are die damage, not PMD. They are die clashes. |

I would have preferred if they didn't make a spot for the non-mag but since they did I bought this proof specifically to fill the last hole. If it turns out there are non-mag circulation issues out there then I would prefer to swap it out (although if a variety like that gets discovered this late I am sure it would be quite expensive). |
