<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 6717192, member: 15199&quot;]I am not offended by the question, and I understand how&nbsp; the searching can be a driven force at time. Eddie is correct in that references that are printed are much better than on the screen and I have some of them falling apart over the many years. Your coin shows DDD damage ( die deterioration damage or doubling). When the die is used too long due to need to get through the year at the mint, the die spreads from the center to the outside edge ....extremely, extremely slowly. but it spreads the devices and lettering is the most noticeable. A key key indicator on the cent is that the &#039;L&#039; in liberty move to and sometime up the edge. Sometimes a true double die will be affected and spread more, but that is very uncommon. </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Now as to people,&nbsp; selling companies, grading concerns changing , you are correct. I only collect double squeeze&nbsp; ( pre-1996) coins as the single squeeze are not true Doubled dies, but a vibration effect, but the variety people have to have a way to still continue their profession. Many do not agree with me, but I am happy.</p><p>Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
