Nice find! I don't collect the series though, so I'm not sure what the master doubling looks like.
Did you quote them Ebay's express written policy that a buyer must return the item in its original condition? I'd like to hear their excuse for...
Those are die cracks, and they are very common in this area on cents from the mid-50s.
Not to the trained eye. If you are new to varieties, machine doubling can be tricky, especially on the EPU of wheat cents. I would recommend that...
For the most part, face value. The 1963 Canadian Dime is 80% silver, so basically melt value on that one. As for the 1969S and 1972D Lincolns, I...
What you are seeing is MD. It's not a doubled die.
We would need closeups of the coin. Take it out of the plastic sleeve.
I don't know who you spoke with at Ebay, but I would escalate it to his/her supervisor. Ebay's "Item Condition Policy for Returns" specifically...
It's well struck, and it appears to be a relatively early die stage. It's a nice example. The 1970 cents ran the gamut from crisp(like your...
I would fight this tooth and nail.
I would definitely take that up with Ebay because the product was not returned in it's original condition.
The die could have been filled with grease, but this is a common area of weakness on Lincoln Memorial cents because of metal flow into the...
I've been selling on Ebay for years and I've only had to cancel one sale. It was an inexpensive minor Lincoln Cent variety, but when it came time...
I don't know how the exchange about the combined shipping went, but it may have been a case where the seller got a feeling that he was going to...
2nd.
It sure looks that way in the photo you posted. It appears to have been circulated after the replating though. No original unc steel cent has that...
Your coin was replated at some point and that is what you are seeing.
I'm not sure, but at stage C the reverse die changed to DDR004 and Coneca notes that in LDS examples "heavily abraded reverse obliterates doubling."
This is not WDDO-046.
Post-mint damage. Someone in a machine shop played around with it.
