In my book the value of an item is not determined by what the seller paid for it. Why should I overpay just because the seller overpaid?
We are not born with that knowledge. I like to store information like that away so I can use it later. A clue like this one can be VERY helpful....
I don't think you will live long enough for the price to ever get ridiculous. There are millions upon millions of uncirculated State Quarter sets...
Very true, 900fine. The same effect can occur when a counterfeit coin is struck from transfer dies that don't pick up the finer details.
If it is a genuine 1914-D it will not have VDB on the truncation of Lincoln's bust. If you see VDB on the truncation of Lincoln's bust it cannot...
Conder, they are called 'cotton bolls', not 'boils'. (Ever heard of a boll weevil? They attack cotton bolls and can quickly ruin a cotton crop.)...

You don't need to have two threads with the same question.

I can think of any number of hobbies and pastimes that are a much bigger waste of time - and money - than collecting coins.
I thought a thread titled 'Presidential Train Wreck' was going to be about something else entirely. :devil:
No problem. Two hours of daylight will do that to ya! :cool:
That's what I thought this thread was going to be about.
Have you tried: CONECA Variety Vista Lincoln Cent Resource ?
Looks like strike doubling to me. Appendix A in CPG gives a good explanation of how to differentiate strike doubling from true doubling.
Also you need to understand there is a difference between errors and varieties. Errors occur individually and, for the most part, are one of a...
Other than the brass plated, these are varieties, not error. Errors are one-offs.
Well, well. Look who is back. Please explain how a die for a privately-issued token could be muled with a die for a US Mint-issue coin. That...
When you get your copy of CPG be sure to read Appendix A - 'Doubled Dies vs. Other Forms of Doubling'.
