Well that is a down side to selling a lot like that on eBay. It would be hell to have to re-inventory the return for the seller and I bet the...
Ditto on the negative doubled die.
It certainly is a late state die. Look at all the erosion radiating out from the center, in the fields.
1. The lot didn't state that there was 218 pounds of silver. It stated that the lot weighed 218 pounds. Much of the weight was rolls of cents and...

1960 small date cents were hyped as great investments in the early 1960's roll craze. They soared in price for a while peaking, if I remember...
I don't see any doubling on these.
