psualum99 New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 08/14/2010 11:56 am Hello, I've been trying unsuccessfully to find out how many 2009 Lincoln Proof error coins are out there. Mine is a die crack on the obverse going down Lincoln's chest to the edge of the coin at 5 o'clock. Anybody know if this has been cataloged and potential number of error sets? Thanks!

Trying to find that information is always going to run you crazy because you will never find it. Given that, most proof dies run between 2,000 and 5,000 coins. Chances that there would be more than 5,000 of any given die defect from one single die would be nearly impossible. Additionally, die cracks and other small anomalous problems are scarcely collected thus have no premium value. Report this Post to the Staff

After the production run for business strikes was completed, a flaw was found in the master hub, where it looked like the emu had laid an egg. All of the circulation coins are error coins. After all of the circulation coins were struck, the master hub was fixed and 1506 proof florins were produced off a proof die. Report this Post to the Staff
