I disagree with this. Who are you to tell someone what is collectable and what is not? Let people collect what they want, whether it be doubled...
There is no way it could have come from the mint like that. It is damaged.
Mechanical doubling.
Yup...picture a bit hazy, taken with my cheap, improvised setup. Coin looks great in hand, though...you are right about the dark brown with red...
Thought I'd share this coin with you fine folks. :) Simon [ATTACH]
Looks like damage.
Offset die deterioration doubling. Common and not worth a premium. Keep up the hunt!
You're probably right...I just like the fun of cleaning them off and attributing them myself. If I just flat out buy a greek coin, I already know...
Tim...what have we said before about taking risks on auctions? It seems like every time you take a risk with a listing, you end up on the losing...

This one aint it. For one thing, there is no notching I can see on LIBERTY and the letters are not extra thick. There should also be strong...
Dang...thought it had enough for a 67. Oh well.
Thank you. I wrote an email to him explaining that I was disappointed with the purchase and was wondering how we can turn this transaction into a...

Maybe someone tried to type in 98 (code for damage) and mistyped 89?
Does not look doubled to me, Rick. On a separate note, there are a bunch of 1984 cents with die cracks coming off the 4 corners of the memorial...
Die cracks were very common in the early to mid 1980s on the memorial reverse.
I doubt that even with environmental damage, it would be 1.33g. I'm going with fake.
Copper planchet from pre-1982 should weigh about 3.11 grams, give or take a little bit for mint tolerances.
Separate names with a comma.
