Post a pick if you can. The grading books for large cent varieties is based on a different grading system then other coins, so without seeing a...
And even then it may lack enough detail to attribute.
I feel your pain. If it makes you feel any better there was a seller this week with around 30 coins of the type I collect. I missed the first...
Yes I have heard of them, they are quite common with the early large cents. They are true doubled dies, not machine doubling, and some of them...
