While searching this afternoon, I came across a 2009 LP2. Now mind you in Houston Irarely find a P mint LP2. With nervous anticipation I flipped it over to the reverse side to check for a DDR. To my amazement, I thnk I found the only die WITHOUT a doubled die. AMAZING.  *** Edited by Staff to remove YELLING. All capital letters is the internet version of yelling.

Here in my part of Florida I hardly ever get any of the 2009 cents. I have about 10 of them and I know at least 1 has has the double thumb, but with my lack of experience, eye sight (and patience) I can't figure out which error it is. I even posted it on the forum but no luck.

I have seen so few of them, and there are so many that look similar. There was a guy on CCF when I joined back in 2010 that was an absolute expert at these. They were all he cared about. He was trying to get one of each. I for the life of me cannot remember his screen name or remember if he is even active anymore. Any of you old farts remember who I am talking about?

I have a 2009 LP4 (can't recall if P or D mint - whichever one has the lower mintage) that I got as a gift from my non-collecting uncle (who apparently somehow found it in change - he really isn't interested in coins).
To be precise, I got it as a gift from my non-collecting uncle in early December 2009. Still wondering how the triangular heck he managed to find one that early.

Hey Seal. How do you expect and Old Fart to remember anything for more than a ...............well, some period of time. Meaning, I don't remember who it is either.

You could probably try the search engine and find one of the posts.

Can someone please inform me what an LP2 is? Good example of why titles are important, which I am guilty of too.(Having Lincoln Cent LP2 in title may of helped) In 2009 there were four different Lincoln Cent designs. LP = Lincoln Penny ( I know should be cent) LP 1 - Birth and Early Childhood - Log cabin LP 2 - Formative years - Rail splitter LP 3 - Professional Life - Lincoln in front of Illinois state capitol LP 4 - Presidency - U.S. capitol in Lincoln time. ---------------------------- Now I am wondering if I should be checking the 100's of LP2's I have .. but pretty sure I do not want to break mint rolls. |

From what I gather LP stood for Lesson Plan. In 2009 the US Mint launched educational teaching aids to show kids the different reverse images and what the meaning was behind each. They were all assigned a "Lesson Plan" number...LP1, LP2, LP3, LP4, and then in 2010 when the reverse changed once again LP5.

Sometimes it is written " Lincoln Penny LP1" I think I picked it up that way. I will try to find something on Lesson Plan |

I thought LP stood for Lincoln Presidential, to be honest. If the Lesson Plan thing is real, that's cool! And one more nice example in the "future etymologists will have big problems figuring it out" category  |
