I had this coin to a coin dealer and he said that you can clearly see this coin was double stamped, but it is not in mint condition. He offered me $90.00 for the coin, but I wouldn't sell it to him because I wasn't sure if he was trying to take advantage of me or not. What would I sell this for?   07-30-2007, 05:20 PM   #2 (permalink) tommypski Coinaholic     Join Date: May 2007 Location: Rochester NY Posts: 323 Welcome to the forum! Can you post any pictures? This would be very helpful to everyone here.   07-30-2007, 05:20 PM   #3 (permalink) Leadfoot Numismatist     Join Date: Apr 2005 Posts: 5,617 My Mood: I have no idea of the value. If I were in your shoes, the first thing I would do is have the coin certified. That should confirm (or deny) the fact that the coin was double-struck, as this type of error is sometimes mistaken for post-mint damage (although the dealer offering $90 for it indicates he believes it to be mint-made). Hope this helps...Mike   07-30-2007, 05:29 PM   #4 (permalink) barbiedoll Junior Member   Join Date: Jul 2007 Posts: 2 Thank you for your input. I will post a picture for you to see, but my camera doesn't have enough megapixels to photograph well so I hope it helps a little. I will definitely have the coin certified, but where do I do that and how do I go about it...I'm new to all of this   07-30-2007, 05:35 PM   #5 (permalink) Treashunt The Other Frank     Join Date: Oct 2006 Location: New York Posts: 16,668 barbiedoll: First, welcome, second look up ANACS on the web they are the easiest to use for certification and probably the best with errors.
