New Variety Error

[BilbosRainbow]

Thanks again for your response. I will attempt to have better pics taken of this anomaly on the coin, and will send as soon as I am able - hopefully in the next day or two.

My apologies. I can see what you are referring to and I appreciate the clarification. Do you have any friends that might be able to get a better photo for you to upload? I just don't quite know what to make of the anomaly. After listing over 100 of these doubled dies in 2009, I can say that I have never seen one quite like this one. I am interested in getting to the bottom of it.

Dear Mr. Piazza .. Thank you for your response. I am not referring to the book. Please take another look at the THUMB, where it can be clearly seen that there is a 2nd thumb. That's what I am referring to. I do not find this variety listed. I apologize for the quality of the photos, but I have an old phone that does not take great pics.

I can clearly see something at the top of the book. However, I can not determine what it is with the photos. It could be a crack, gouge, or part of another hubbing. Is there any way to get a better photo of the anomaly?

Dear sirs,

I recently purchased several rolls of 2009 & 2009D Lincoln Cents "Formative Year" version, and have discovered several with known variety errors, and also this one that has a very obvious error: there is a second small thumb at the thumb joint that can be clearly seen. However, I do not find this variety among the known varieties. Not-so-great pics of the coin are attached, but this new variety-error can be clearly seen in even these poor photos.

What must I do to have this coin examined, so that it might be recognized and added to the varieties database?

I look forward to your response. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely yours,
William Bailey
