February 20, 2013—Jeff Young, who reported the first 1983-D Lincoln cent struck on a solid 95% copper planchet, two weeks later reported finding a 1966 doubled-die reverse cent. It represents only the third example found (that I know of) since it was first reported upon in the CONECA Errorscopein 1999 and again in Numismatic News when the second specimen was discovered in 2011. To date I am not aware of an example trading either privately or through auction, but it assuredly falls into a value of thousands of dollars even in circulated grade. Young also had a number of other significant finds that he brought to my Stockbridge, MI antique shop location for photography (and to have his 1983 copper cent authenticated). More photos of his finds can be seen in the the hard-copy version of Numismatic News.
