Has anyone found the new loon , the one for collectors that has die cracks and a small die chip.  You can just see die cracks going from the N to the A and on the D  On the date you have a faint die chip on the left side of the 0 and die cracks top and bottom of the 0 I found 10 of these in a roll so it must be a common thing. |

These ones show die cracks on the D and X on the obverse and the die die crack like yours, but with a more pronounced die chip on the bottom of the 2 of the date. Very nice! |

I found 10 of these in a roll so it must be a common thing. Not necessarily. If they came off the press together they might have had correlated distribution... i.e. there were common in that roll but not overall. For example, a lot of the famous 1955 US double die pennies were found in the same area of the US and used for change in cigarette vending machines since a large part of that batch was sent there. If you got a couple from the machines back to back, you might have thought it was common ... But in the overall population, it was quite rare. |

Update on my post, I finally got to put the coins in 2x2's and on do so checked them all again and I ended up with 10 without a die crack or die chip. So just 10 out of 25 that are good so to speak.
