do you fellow CT members like this one ? http://www.ebay.com/itm/1975-DOUBLE...KgA31g%2F%2BhFw0qWA9M%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc
The soft, blended overlap of first- and second-strike elements is diagnostic of fake second strikes delivered by a soft die. These are very abundant among 1964 cents, but they do occur in other years. Genuine one-sided double strikes featuring rotation between strikes are extremely rare among business strikes.
always remember to look at both sides of a coin . if this was a real rotated in the collar double strike both sides would be double struck. folks be careful on ebay or anywhere else when buying coins until you learn how to identify a fake.
One of these fake 1964 cents with two dates keeps selling over and over on ebay. It was sold again last week or ebay may have made them remove it. I had it on my ebay watching page and it disappeared.
This should be a lesson, especially to newbies to the hobby, if you're thinking of buying something like that, it should be in a TPG holder. Can't believe someone was dumb enough to pay $265 for that raw. LOL Looking at that sellers previous sales, check this one out: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1973-D-DROP...D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557
That one is highly suspect, and not quite the same as those presented in Mike Diamond's paper earlier in 2013: http://demo.coinworldonline.com/articles/printarticle/die-fill-responsible-for-errors-seldom-found
the dropped letter coin this seller sold may have been a authentic one. the dropped letter in Mikes paper still has the debris embedded in the coin and the debris has already dropped out of the ebay coin. dropped letter coins have to be attributed by a close up inspection. I would say what to look for but the counterfeiters already knows enough.
