sven6100 New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 06/17/2008 9:01 pm i have a 2008 Lincoln Penny that has a glob of extra material on the back of the coin between two of the pillars on the building. I am not really a collector I just came across this coin and a collector friend of mine told me to have it documented, so other people can look for this mistake in other coins. I am basically looking for some information. thanks for your time and thanks if you have some info for me I really would appreciate it. Report this Post to the Staff

arthrene Pillar of the Community United States 1713 Posts	Posted 06/19/2008 11:18 pm Seems like I saw something on ebay. They were calling it a beehive die chip.

jeffreyice1 Valued Member United States 381 Posts	Posted 06/20/2008 7:02 pm That means he has a 2008 penny with a 2007 back with Cud! Report this Post to the Staff
pyrbob Rest in Peace United States 1943 Posts	Posted 06/20/2008 7:21 pm It doesn't mean he has a 2008 with a 2007 back. The die chip from ebay looks different than the die chip in the above photo. It's just another die chip at the same place on a different reverse die. Also keep in mind a Cud is at the rim only. I also see the ebay coin was offered for 99 cents and did not sell. This gives you an idea of the value. Report this Post to the Staff
