I had always thought you could own them (coins) but if you had intent to defraud (sell them as real) you could have legal problems. On a different...
I don't know why but for some reason it looks strange to me.
Actually what these type of threads need is for those that have nothing to add that's on topic, is for them not to post anything that is not on...
Poor poor coin. It can't be called by it's given name, it's not a variety, an error and now, not even an oddity. I guess it is "nothing but junk"....
N0 change.
I understand this and doubled dies as well as you but I'm not obsessed with it. I don't care if someone uses the term double die and it's...
True. The term double is just slang. It's been around forever. It's like the poorman's term, folks will probably never stop using it.
That's correct. Ebay may pull an auction if values are listed. I could be wrong on that but thought that was a rule.
I actually looked at C.D.'s book first. He is a member here (coppercoins). Looked at Lange, Breen, Taylor and learned very little. If I'm really...

I agree. The name was given over 50 years back and is part of the history of collecting Lincoln cents. Should we also change the names of...

How did you list the coin? What was in the title and what was in the body of the listing? Without that I can't see how anyone can give a fair opinion.
Hi Jerry. Mr Bowers would give you the same information Doug just did. It's really tough to guess numbers the mint never gave or just didn't...

Yes it is violating Ebay's keyword spam policy and is very deceptive.
Both theories are correct. The wash is the cause but the results come later. I'll add more to this after others post.
Really nice Major. Did that come from Bowers? [IMG] [IMG] [IMG]
I go to the post I made and hit edit. At that point I just delete the part I need to correct. I could be wrong but I'm thinking after 2 days you...
