    eBay "Strike Doubled" cent: okay, which of us did this?

    I had to laugh when I saw this:

    1969-S Lincoln Cent - Brilliant Uncirculated - Strike Doubled JUNK & WORTHLESS!


    So, does anyone here want to own up to it? Click here to enlarge

    Funny, but even funnier is they will probably be auctioned off on eBay at a later date as DDO.

    And it also comes with 50 more of them, so we may see a LOT of 69-S "double die" auctions.

    Or maybe educate yourself to the point that you know what you are buying? There are plenty of excellent raw coins available on eBay at any given time.

    ...and a lot of problem coins with flattering pictures of them. Ebay's a crapshoot sometimes, and you really need to consider all the variables before bidding on anything remotely rare or valuable. I speak from experience, and have learned from my mistakes. Chalk it up as tuition I guess!
