Possible US mint error I need help with.?

Saturday, August 14th, 2010 at 6:40 pm

I have started collecting coins and today when I opened the box from the US mint to find that their are two potential problems. The first it that on the D roll the Lincoln's log cabin is on both sides and the second is on the P roll that had a prefect half circle dent on it. So I'm wondering if these are error coins and if these "errors" decrease or increase the value?

I just started coin collecting and I have many questions. I was wondering if you could recommend a good book or website so that I could read up on the do's and don'ts of the hobby. And my biggest question right now is this. I have a silver proof set that I just bought from the US Mint. The cases they came in don't seem to be 100% air tight. How well do these cases stand up to the test of time, and is there anything I should do to better preserve them, and still be able to display them? Thank you for your help!

Is the US Mint making 2009 coins for general circulation?

Since the end of 2008 the Hawaiian state quarter being the last of the US state series, I've not seen any 2009 coins of US mintage.

I've heard they're gonna mint four different designs of pennies commemorating Abraham Lincoln's 200th birthday and rumors of minting quarters in 2009 commemorating Washington DC and US territories.

Thus far I've not seen any 2009 coins in circulation.
