I have 3 coins that I would like opinions on please. All are dimes. 1. 1994 D possible doubling in the L R and I? 2. 1982 D possible lamination error over T and Y? 3. 2003 D possible Die Crack and Doubling of A and T? Give me your best professional or amatuer opinions! I looked at a whole lot of certified error coins and mine seem to fall under a few different categories. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks All!
1) not seeing anything indicating a doubled die 2) looks like something attached to the coin 3) mechanical doubling and die crack
Can you answer me why some coins graded by PCGS, NGC, ANACS and others have definite MD but are still graded DDO or S/S/S/ or D/D or whatever, but when I ask for opinions, mine are always MD? I just don't get it. This game is a lot tougher than it looks! The T in the third coin definitely has notching like a double die, the first coin has doubling of the L R and I. Does this make any sense? And if not, how do you draw your conclusions?
Could you point to specific examples of coins in PCGS, NGC, or ANACS slabs that have been falsely labeled as varieties?
Just check ebay, they're all over it. Hold on, I'll go find one and post the link. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1964-D-DDR-...35?pt=Coins_US_Individual&hash=item56597e139b
Genuine varieties can also display strike doubling, but it is likely that the OP is misinterpreting what he sees. With that said, and with NGC in particular, all designated varieties should be confirmed before purchase. While mistakes can be made by all, NGC is particularly troublesome, and considering they do not guarantee their “work”, this should be of no real surprise.
Not all slabbed coins are what the TPO's say they are. Just because a coin is in a plastic slab don't make it real . Plus IMO some error evperts are labeling about anything a error no matter how minor it is. these that you need a microscope to see will never be worth anything except to take up space in a collection.In post #2 IMO non cents told you exactly what you have. If you are just starting to learn about error coins hang in there and learn as you go , this takes time .
you are right on all counts and it is getting to be a real problem unfortunately it seems there will be no end since there is a market for almost any error.
