<p>[QUOTE="WriterIN, post: 1454945, member: 35620"]Jim M, I hear your frustration. It can take YEARS to find just one really good, true doubled die coin. Most newbies (myself included) come to the forum to get information on things they see but don't understand, and the congratulations received when you really DO have a winner is great. When someone trumpets what they think is a DD but really isn't AND seems impervious to logic you just want to grab them by the shoulders and shake some sense into them.</p><p><br /></p><p>As an aside, I must be a really lucky guy. I've found one DDO in general circulation while roll searching (a 2011P-1DO-004, uber-rare) and two 1949S-1DO-002's that I found in a bulk bag of wheaties purchased on eBay. I put them up in the Error Coins forum a while ago, and got some nice compliments. Personally, I'd much rather be praised for a good find than lambasted for a poor one, but different people respond to different motivations.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
