dbrablec Pillar of the Community United States 1944 Posts	Posted 06/01/2010 6:51 pm i just finished going througe three rolls (150) 1957D Lincoln's. there were 67, various combinations of filled "9", "5", "B" and "BIE" errors. I knew these were common - in the 50's. but 67/150 seems a bit on the high side of common. just my observation. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 06/01/2010 7:01 pm When dies are over used, they fall apart quick and still get used more. We expect perfection. They just want to make as many coins they can from the dies they have. Did you find some RPMs also. You might check out coppercoins.com/ to see if you missed any of the ones for that year. Varieties are listed there: http://coppercoins.com/advsearch.php Edited by coop 06/01/2010 7:03 pm Report this Post to the Staff

They are a simple, accepted part of the minting process and are not really considered errors because the Mint would let them out knowing about them. Report this Post to the Staff
