1. Lincoln Cent Error Coin Guide 2024 Description : Thank you for purchasing the 14th edition of the Lincoln Error Coin Guide. Every year, this book is expanded with hundreds of new auction results, totaling over 1,000 entries. New error coin discoveries have expanded the volume of this book, making it the most comprehensive since its first publication in 2010.The Lincoln Cent Guide contains listings of variations and a section of photos with descriptions.The information in this guide is based on 60 years of coin collecting experience, associations with numismatic organizations, and research from PCGS, NGC, the US Mint, and the US Treasury. The information in this guide will enable collectors to make the best decisions for buying, selling, and sending coins to grading services.New for 2024 Error Coin Attributions Beginning in 2024, the error attributions will be listed for coins in all auctions. Adding the attribution numbers will help collectors identify the error with a cross-reference for all catalogs. An error coin date with a different attribution number is listed separately if the value is not within the same range.In the 1960s, two numismatists, J.T. Stanton and Bill Fiaz, collected and cataloged information about RPM and DDO coins. The catalog they created uses their initials (FS) with a numbering system.The Fiaz-Stanton system is the most regarded, and error coins with the FS attribution command the most money.Other collectors in two different organizations, CONE and NECA, compiled DDO and RPM error listings. All error coins were cataloged using the designations &quotDDO&quot or &quotRPM,&quot followed by a numbering system. In the early 1980s, CONE and NECA merged to form CONECA.PCGS only recognizes Fiaz- Station attributions. ANACS recognizes all attributions, and many RPM attributions with no FS cross-reference are low-value error coins. NGC recognizes all attributions however, many holders can be located with a CONECA designation, or an FS designation, with some holders having multiple attributions. NGC also uses their own system of numbers for some attributions, designated as VP-00x. There are old FS numbers on some holders. Some holders have no attribution. We cross-reference the old and new FS numbers for the error coins listed.Updated AnnuallyA complete listing of error types with descriptions and photos validated with PCGS, NGC, and ANACS.Error coin listings with valuesPhotos of modern-day error coinsA glossary of error coin termsAdditional Information An appendix describing the eight types of doubled die errors with photographs is included.Included in this GuideDie errors: Errors created from oken dies, cracked collars, hub errors, misaligned dies, doubled dies, and repunched mintmarksPlanchet Errors: Blanks used in the minting process with cracks, clips, defects, lamination, occluded gas, unplated, the wrong metal, and the wrong planchetStriking errors: Errors created in the minting process, such as oadstrikes, die caps, and others.Error Coin Updates New error entries are added, and auction results are updated annually. Updates in this guide are noted by the current year placed at the end of error listing. We attend national auctions to obtain the most recent values for encapsulated error coins, providing collectors with credible and accurate information and giving collectors an advantage when buying and selling.Error Coin CollectingError coin collecting has been increasing in popularity, as evidenced by the growing number of error coins submitted to grading services. In 1999, PCGS was the first coin grading service to recognize error coins other than the traditional error coins like the 1955 Lincoln cent.
