Lots of collectors got really ticked at the Mint over the 95W. They had to fork out a $1000 bucks to keep the set complete. The regular proof was...
The guy that bought the 5pc set has 0 feedback. These have really come down in price. I'm thinking they got as high as 7 or 8K.
It would be really cool if it were real. There was this guy named Scotty that lost one.
Why is it that so many of the Thumbnails folks post won't enlarge? They open but the image is the same size as the thumbnail. Do I have...

From what I have seen over the last few years, some coins can be helped to look better but the spots come back. In my opinion these are like...
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...

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...
It would be interesting to know where the term came from. I looked at a few books and sites and found almost nothing of the history of it's name....
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...
Folks have been calling them that forever. Wrong term or not, it's what people know them as. I don't have a problem with the term.
Did the title of the auction say "poor man's double die" or just double die?
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.
Separate names with a comma.
