New 2009 Cent error reported

[Jim Archibald]

There is a new a die cracknow appearing, this being a 2009-P "Bootstrap" Lincoln cent. This appears to be a new report on the Formative Years Lincoln cent, the second of four circulating commemorative cents to be issued during the year. Significant numbers of cents with a prominent die crack graphically visible without magnification extending from Lincoln’s left boot through the second U in PLURIBUS at six o’clock on the reverse of the Formative Years cent recently appeared at random in 2009-P Uncirculated cent rolls. The die crack is similar to a bootstrap, thus gaining the nickname for the variety. Time to look at those new Cent rolls folks!

Interesting find. At the beginning of June, I found a Formative Years cents with a die crack extending through Lincoln's head. I guess I should have come up with a catchy name for it.
