Jay, no need to apologize...HEALTHY disagreements are what it's all about and it's how we learn, especially when proven wrong. As for what you...
As an aside, I was specifically referring to the illustration, and was under the impression it was the obv/rev die in the collar already. No need...
Though I do NOT have to agree with the OP and his opinion of his coin being a 'major doubled die', I would NEVER call ANY collector's coin a...
Yes, the doubled ear is confirmed for the '84 Lincoln, but there's also a thread here about a 'possible' 2006 Lincoln doubled ear. So, given that...
The Lincoln Cent Resource describes machine doubling here...http://www.lincolncentresource.com/FAQ/machinedoubling.html edited to say...I...
double post, sorry
I have fully understood what must take place to cause machine doubling for a long time (not trying to be offensive), and a coin is not struck...

If people would 'stay away' from more coins like the coin you posted, Race, it'd make it ALOT easier to get them much cheaper, and I WOULD add...
Got the same email, but it was mid-late last week. Was wondering when it was going to be discussed. I guess I got the notice earlier than...
Man, I just gave Joe's link a very quick glimpse before hitting the feathers...I have to say, I think that Washington $5 gold is still one of the...
While they are still off, they ARE getting scary good at it. Less or unknowledgeable beginning collectors will get fooled by the newest...
Tease! But, all kidding aside, getting Joe's permission WOULD be the considerate thing to do. I doubt he'd object if he were asked, as Joe IS...
