[QUOTE="expat, post: 7720733, member: 111067"]A doubled die is not an error, it is a variety with many, many coins struck until the die is retired. Your coin shows all the signs of a Deteriorated Die and is sufficiently worn to not achieve a high enough grade to give it the value you obviously hope it has. Research is important, knowing exactly what you have comes way before what potential value it might have. Even then, if you find a genuine variety or error, the condition of the coin then becomes important for it to compete in the market. Unfortunately, old doesn't always mean valuable. I know you are keen and hitting this searching hard, but you need to slow down and evaluate each coin as to what it is. Damage, circulation wear, worn die, variety or error etc. there are millions and millions more of the first three in this sentence than the second two. In your post above you stated that [B][I]I'm tickle to death I've been waiting on this for a long time they should have a good value on this 57 coin its got motiple things wrong with it I knew soon as I saw it[/I][/B] the problem is that if all the multiple things wrong with it are worthless or even damaging to the coin, where would any value come from. This post is not any criticism of you or your obvious enthusiasm, but more of a plea to you to research more and familiarise yourself with the various differences you will encounter before you get burnt out and start losing interest.[/QUOTE]
