I do some searching in my free time, it's not a 24/7 type of thing. I find it doesn't take much effort to search, and since I do it mostly for...
That's why, for listings that have a lot of bids and end soon, I use an ebay sniper...:D Call me evil, but it works!
I see what you are referring to, but I think it's coincidental damage.
My personal opinion is that Barber coins had an unappealing design (cue boos and tomatoes being thrown).
Thrill of the hunt mostly, but if I can make a $2 profit on a 1c coin, does it really hurt? If I sell 10 minor errors (and I do have people that...
Correct, doubled dies are varieties. They are anomalies that occur prior to the coin being struck.
They are technically a die variety as they are a variation of the die itself. They are also listed as varieties on lincolncentresource.com and...
It is a variety, because it occurs before the coin is actually struck.
+1. Look for the actual doubling first, not the markers. It doesn't matter if sll the markers are there...if the doubling is not, then it is not...

A beauty, 66 for sure.
That is EXTREME! I would almost think partially split planchet. Awesome find!
Re-engraving on the head. Nothing on LIBERTY. I would recommend visiting the site error-ref.com and reading up on it, that way you have a more...
It wouldn't cut into the devices if it was doubled on the die. Check out my tutorial on the different types of doubling.
Looks like mechanical doubling...
Nice, nailed 2/2 and sticking around in 4th. :)
I know a bit, but far from everything. There's always more we can learn.
Hmmm, I don't think you would get $130 from a dealer. Keep in mind that they need to make a profit, too, do you really think they can make much on...
1946: looks normal. 1943: lots of struck throughs that year, and a weakly-engraved date. Very common to find with missing digits.
