The "doubled area" is flat and not rounded; it's flat. Therefore it is machine doubling. Like it or not, collectors don't pay a premium for that.
Here are photos of a 1969-S Doubled Die Cent from our friends at Heritage Auctions. As you can see, ALL of the letters are doubled, not just the...
If it is in a VG holder, that's where it belongs. It's a nice no problem coin, but I don't see an upgrade in its future.
Perhaps dipped too many times or for too long. The net result is a dull coin with little eye appeal. If it grades, it might get an MS-61, which...
Here is one more litte tidbit, less convining that the previous "star" example, but put out there nonetheless. Some people think that Reich signed...
So, we now say that we have no idea who designed the new coins, cira 1807-8? I am not buying that. Someone started marking an arm on the 13 star...

United States large cents have been prime collectors’ items for more than 150 years. Ironically the coins were not popular when they were issued...
Not much else to say, except that I wish they could get the fingerprints of the seller from the third photo. He needs a new residence with four...
A couple of dealers cornered the market on them in Mint State. One of them bragged that he built a house from the profits he made. The coin is...
I have never done business with Golden Eagle Coin. All of my dealings Dalton Gold & Silver have been great. I would highly recommend the company.
The 1876-P is just a better coin. It's graded MS-65 and it very high end for that grade. The 1877 is a better date. It's grade is PR-64, Cam. The...
