Are there reverse double die wheaties errors

I think everyone misunderstood me about my comment to paddyman98.
All it was meant to be as a lot of people new to CT leave the D off of doubled. And they do not realize they are stepping into a new world of coin collecting.
One thing on CT a lot of members that have been collecting for a long time assume a lot of people really care about the proper terminology. Guess what they don't.

paddyman98 And I also have had our disagreements. As I have had with quite a few other members. And probably will never agree on a lot of things. But that's okay that's because we are not the same. USMC60

I just call them rounds.

 

Look know of fence it's taken. Over 30 years I've heard ammo called a variety of things.Just like in error coins, there is a glossary of terms used. And the same goes for ammunition there is also a glossary of terms.
I guess what I'm trying to say is, directing someone to knowledge And given them a link and a simple comment like this will help you. And leave it at that.USMC60

 

"Find a penny, pick it up,
And all the day, you'll have good luck."

 

There is a cognitive dissonance here you're completely missing. Only the long-time collectors - the experts - care about precise terminology? Why, do you think, is that true?

 

I wouldn't go as far as calling them experts, it's more like hard-core collectors.
And of course they care about the proper terminology and anyone around them using the proper terminology.

Who I am talking about is the new people to collecting. Or even those who have put coins away for years I do not consider themselves collectors.
I know quite a few people that put coins away but do not consider themselves collectors. They see something they like they just keep it.
And have very little interest in coin terminology. These are the individuals I'm talking about. USMC60

 

Well, It helps those who are able to Identify - Identify. These definitions should be used appropriately within its context to give a correct assessment. Terminology keeps us all on the same page!

 

Thanks for paddy54 the only one reading my question. He gave me an answer. All others considered spelling not question. So look down your nose at someone else. Using the excuse of terminology. Cheech. Usmc is grounded and wise

 

Thanks

 

So did you look at those websites I provided? did you understand and learn the difference?

The error-ref.com is an excellent website to show you the many different errors that are known. Just click on the index on the left side and have hours of fun learning

 

Jeff lol. Now i get what you meant by penny police. You know alls i was doing was trying to fit in. And have some fun chat. Didnt know ct members would look down their noses at me. What a shame

 

That was not my intent. But if it bothers you I will not post any longer on your threads... Peace

 

No you can answer my threads cuz i think we both have learned something today.

 

What I see are CT members trying to help you. Sorry you can't see that.

 

OK..
I am not big into Doubled Die varieties.. I specialize more on Major Mint errors.. there are some members who know a lot more than I do when people ask questions on them.

At the moment I posted I just thought I would share with you something that others have accepted and rejected. It's your prerogative to choose how you feel about anyone's post to you. I just want for all of us to get along!

 

Lots of nice people here, but they do like to correct grammar, spelling and terminology, none of which would do any of us any harm. They have some fun but rarely get vicious.

 

Grammar, The new dirty word around here. LOL

 

Heck, you can't tell the truth around here without someone getting upset.

 

In any field of study, there is a certain set of terminology that is accepted and used to provide a clear understanding of the topic under discussion. You would never see shorthand references such as “funny bone” or “pinkie” in JAMA or The Lancet and I don’t think a Marine drill sergeant or would teach a recruit “how to shoot his gun”. The field of Numismatics is similar. I might tell a small child that he has a nice, shiny penny, but I would describe the coin as a mint state 2017 cent if I were giving a presentation at a local coin club.

Internet forums do not require the formality of professional presentations or publications; they are more of a discussion between friends and colleagues. I don’t feel it’s appropriate to correct minor typos (shouldn’t this be: typographical errors?) or grammar mistakes (I sure make my share), but we should use the standard terminology to help with consistency. A post asking, “what’s my penny worth?” doesn’t require a drawn out explanation on why it’s a cent, but if someone has enough experience to ask about a “double die”, I think they would be interested in learning the correct term.

So, I believe there is value in pointing out (in a nice sort of way) the correct numismatic terminology in CT posts, when appropriate.
