Your question about doubling on the Lincoln is similar to one I had about an 1882 Shield Nickel that I for many years thought was a doubled die....
I would assume that any raw coin sold on eBay is a details (problem) coin unless there were very clear photos indicating otherwise. Even then I...
Since we are on the draped bust topic, here is one of my recent acquisitions I haven’t posted here yet. In addition to this dime I have an 1805...
Here’s another coin I bought from the same GC auction, my first ever experience on that venue. I saw this with a low price without much time left...
