He Was A Legend
Unfortunately, Don Lutes Jr. died on September 3, 2018. However, he received news about the rare penny before this. The 1943 Lincoln coin was evaluated by a major grading company that verified that it was a true “error coin.” He was given official documentation! The penny was even listed down as the “Don Lutes Discovery Coin.” On top of that, his name has since become a legend in the world of coin collecting as well.
The Copper Coins
Over the years, plenty of these copper coins have surfaced across the country. Ten to fifteen of the error coins were discovered in a Philadelphia mint. Six more were discovered in a San Francisco mint, while they found one more in a mint located in Denver. How exactly did Don come into possession of one of these rare coins anyway?
