1936-S penny Double Die w/ eyelashes!?!?

With better photos of the mint mark, I could determine if it is 1936-S rpm-001

Don’t mean to seem rude, but we don’t necessarily need suspected errors circled, and while I applaud your enthusiasm, I recommend you stick around a little longer and learn more before trying to give guidance to YNs. Sometimes no advice is better than the alternative.

 

I’ve been around since September 2018, but, there were problems with that account. So, I created a new one.

Also, Seattlite, I don’t think you’ve encountered the problem of staring for 10 minutes at a scratched up penny trying to figure out where this “error” is.
Of course, I’m not an expert in every error, but I try to help where I can. With this coin, (from the blurry photos) I just couldn’t understand where OP saw the doubled die.

As for learning, everyone is always learning. If you know something about a coin, it’s best to share information.

As for the advice, I think you should take your own on “no advice being better than the alternative”. I certainly didn’t ask for a condescending comment. After all, I’m almost 26, not 6.

 

Lol! That’s a rather incorrect assumption. The fact that I’ve been a member since 2013 and have almost 7,000 messages ought to have cued you in.

The lukewarm feedback you received on your post about circling “errors” already explains why the request is not really that helpful. You just said so yourself here, that the photos were too blurry, so the use of photoshop or paint wasn’t helpful anyway. Also, very few of the people that post random coins and ask if they’re errors actually read any other threads before posting. As Jim the moderator tried to explain to you, no one who is new and posts such coins will actually read your advice thread. Feel free to ask the OP if she did. My money is on that she didn’t.

Im not exactly sure why you think your age is relevant here. You could be 96, or 6 and I’d still have given you the advice, because it has nothing to do with your age. I hope you’re not under the impression that once you reach adulthood that you no longer have to endure criticism.

I commended your enthusiasm, and I think helping others is a wonderful thing, but I’ve seen enough of your posts to recognize that you are still new at collecting. If you wait just a little longer and see the advice others give, you’ll be able to give better advice to others. There’s a danger in rushing to offer advice without having a solid foundation on the subjects being discussed. We’ve had to correct a number of over eager members over the years, who have told newcomers some very wrong information. If you find the fact that you’re not that knowledgeable in certain areas condescending, and you don’t like being told not to be so eager to give advice, then you have two options: be offended or learn more. Trying to clap back isn’t going to increase your numismatic understanding.

 

I see what you mean, but, I wanted to let you know that I do not give inaccurate advice, and if I am unsure about something, I always research it. Many 1 or 2 day members who post are too lazy to research their own coin.
Also, please don’t use “lol”. I last saw that used in the early 2000s.

 

Fair enough. And Lol. No, I’ll use whichever words I choose, so long as they’re not offensive and comport to the rules of the forum. I’m 32 after all, not 6.

 

Hmm, using the age card, eh?
Using acronyms like “lol” contributes to the oppression of minority groups, and allows for inhibition of their rights...

Haha
Sorry, I used to live in Berkeley.

 

It’s called irony. That was my attempt at humor.

 

Yes, that was part of my UC Berkeley student impression.
