In my book are the types of tools that one will need to see and attribute these
microscopic errors more easily, as well as camera technique you may use to a
produce a more saleable image in online auctions.  You can predictably find the
doubled die and other errors in the boxes listed by date and lot numbers.  The
many different types of errors are predictably found, as they were concentrated
by error type in certain time periods conveniently printed on the ends of the Mint
boxes. They can be very reliably found using the charts and data in this book.
It's fun to check out each coin from a fresh uncirculated roll, because you
never know what kind of error you may find in your first, or in your 51st roll!
Roll searching has become a popular and compelling pastime for families in these
strange days.
Over five years in the making, opening hundreds of LP boxes, I intended for
my book to be a reference to help collectors to find specific doubled die errors
in all four series of 2009 Lincoln Bicentennial cents minted during this remarkably
prolific year for Mint errors and lower-mintage cents.  In the course of analyzing
these errors, I also tried to educate the novice numismatist, without providing too
much tedious information that only professionals commonly use.  I have heard
from many adults and kids who have bought my book and have had a lot of fun
together searching for errors.
To my relief in 2009, I thought, "Finally, a new hobby within numismatics that is
affordable enough to keep younger collectors occupied and happy!"  Most kids
these days can only afford the entrance fee to coin shows, let alone the fantasy
of buying a coin that's worth anything for a few bucks.  Not that it can't be done,
but the "pickins" are getting slim in the bargain bins the last few shows that I
attended.  It's still possible to find value in rolls of the 2009 Lincoln Cents on
eBay and other online auctions quite reasonably.
The coins included in this offer are worth many times their face value, all BU,
all inserted in inert cardboard flips immediately after I found them.  My searches
went on for four years until I felt that I had enough research data to publish the
book in 2013.
A good place to start looking for doubled die errors in the 2009 cents is with rolls
of Formative Years cents from the Philadelphia Mint.  A good 10x loupe or even
better, a good stereoscope meant for coin collectors helps magnify the tiny errors.
If you are lucky you might find virgin and perhaps even unsearched rolls which came
directly from bank boxes or selling online in auctions and "buy it now" venues*.
In 2009 the
U.S. Mint-issued Lincoln Cent two-roll sets (LP1, LP2, LP3 and LP4)
contain many of the four different reverse varieties of doubled die errors, some think
many more errors come from these rolls than from the dwindling supply of fresh unopened
and unsearched bank box rolls. I think they both provide equal numbers of Mint errors.
The
four different reverse side cents which commemorate Lincoln's birth bicentennial,
were minted only in 2009   I was fortunate to find errors in plentiful supply from 2009
throughout 2013, but in rolls that I still search today, I am finding fewer and fewer errors
in rolls that I still search for errors.  In order to have a complete set of Lincoln Cents
minted in 2009, you must have all twenty (20) varieties.
