Just coins, I completely understand your point. I understand why the coin was called what it was called. There was a progression of things...
It says under Captainkirks avatar that he owns a 1973 Buick Riviera. For many years, I owned a 1963 Buick Wildcat. I am sure that CaptainKirk...
Simple... because it is wrong....and I stick to my ethics. It's not that I think it is wrong, it happens to actually, really, conclusively, be...
Rockdude makes an interesting point that can go to the heart of this thing. If a "real" collector sees a listing for a 1955 "Poorman's...
I'm not trying to shoot the messenger, I am , however trying to educate people and change the message:-) If the message has been wrong for...
Nope, because you still call it a doubled die and it isn't. You are moving in the right direction though and I applaud that. What if I had a...

Prior to 1990, there is no mention of the coin. The 1990 edition has a notation about the coin at the end of the Franklin half listings. The...
Thanks for the credit on the discovery. There are 1972 S proof coin die varieties. This is the only known die variety on 1972 S business strike...
It's machine doubling.
Hi, I gotta tell ya:-) The results of this poll ain't pretty:-) It indicates so far that over 80% (the number may change)of the people here...
It is deceptive, in my humble opinion, to call it a doubled die. It is doubling due to die deterioration. If die deterioration is placed in the...
Hi, This one is definitely genuine. The scratches do hurt. A $5000.00 price tag is way to high even on a better version of the piece. These...
Yep, All damage and no die breaks. Sorry. Bill
Hi, Also, it is easy to tell from the picture that the coin was re-plated. We call those re-processed cents. After they were minted and after...
