You see where I have the arrow pointing that doesnt look like doubling to You? I looked over a bunch of 2000 cents before I posted this and none of them have a a beard like this one.
its 2000 wide AM and like I said I've looked at a bunch of 2000 cents and NONE of them have a beard like this. so with all due respect I dont think its normal. why dont you post any 2000 cent with a beard like this if this is normal?
thanks anyway im going to have it sent it to be graded because its a WIDE AM. and I guess they will let me know what it is.
Where are you going to send it? PCGS? Make sure to let them know it's a wide AM, and that you want them to look at the beard (which is not a doubled die).
I have no idea what other 2000 cents you're looking at, but this is a completely normal beard. http://images.pcgs.com/CoinFacts/15306721_1292164_max.jpg Also, grading this coin, even as a wide AM, is not a fiscally sound decision. You can buy a GEM example for under $50 and this one is not even going to make it to the lower MS range.
As a follow up, the last PCGS certified wide AMs to sell on Teletrade were a 63 that went for $12 and a 64 that went for $18. Ouch. What's it going to cost you to slab this one with variety attribution? It's a great find, and a fun one, but is it really worth sending to a TPG?
Ok give me a sec. I just found an DDR (doubled 7th column) roll searching that has the same beard. I say normal coin because I haven't seen a pic of the reverse. With all the "doubled die" coins you post, am I just supposed to take your word that it's a wide AM? Sorry, not gonna.
Here you go. My coin, while it is a DDR, isn't a DDO. The beard is the same as yours. Just a nicely struck coin. Oh, mines not a wide AM by the way.
and to be honest i have all 3 WIDE AMs 98 99 and 00. the 99 was given to me by a friend. i have a bunch of cents I dont even bother to post because I know what they are.
Regarding the original question, compare it to the other images posted. Not a doubled die. Wide AM, sure...but still not really worth the cost of submitting IMO.
