For those who have found the new 2008 Cents. Congratulations. Has anyone noticed any change in the design? I found another one today and there is a difference between last years and this years. The Date and mint mark are different. The date is wider than the 2007-D Cents and the mint mark is a different shape.  Nice to see the wider devices if just on the date. The size of the devices on the 2001-2004 Cents are my favorites. They just stand out better to me. |

I agree, I am getting rolls of Bu 2007s in bank boxes and cannot find a 2008. Well, I found one and it was a Denver mint and I am in Maryland.

I got a 2008-D, yesterday, from the pocket change, my daughter had, She brings it for me to look at,and I finally gor the new '08. It has a long crack fron the rim, down into the hail, and on down to the back of the head, behinf the ear, and almost into the field. I'll post a photo, later, (after the game).

You can't miss the '08s with the extreme, blinding brightness of the planchet. I wonder if there could possibly be any die varieties this year concerning the size of the date ;) Fat chance, but I can still wish.

No 2008's yet. Is it me or does the 2007 in the first pic look like the 7 is added to a generic die stamp. Looks taller to me and added. nlp

Coop, I got a box yesterday, of 2008-D. They don't show any obverse on any of the rolls except one. it is a 2008-D, but no cracked head. I also found an Oklahome 2008-D in the box of quarters. Little else, tho! I did get $40.00 in half dollars, BU! Know what I'm thinking?

Why do the 2008 cents get a premium? Sorry for the noob question.

It is a silly question but not for you asking it. It strikes me as being silly that it even has to be asked in the first place because there is no real reason why the 2008s should have a premium. It basically comes down to the fact that people are impatient and they want their coins NOW, not waiting to track down a box or roll from a bank. Also, some people might be thinking that they could find "the next great error". Of course, the chances of that happening are very slim. |
