<p>[QUOTE=&quot;foundinrolls, post: 153984, member: 4350&quot;]I believe that some folks collect them because they think they are the&nbsp; more valuable doubled dies and they can&#039;t tell the difference.&nbsp; I also believe that some people collect them because they don&#039;t have the knowledge about the fact that mechanically doubled coins are created by the billions and have no numismatic value.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>My personal feeling is that an educated coin collector would not pay a premium for a mechanically doubled coin if he understood the process that created it.&nbsp; Collecting them is easy,&nbsp; almost every piece of pocket change has some form of mechanical doubling on it.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Selling coins that are mechanically doubled for anything over face value ,is in my humble opinion like selling a 1964 Kennedy half dollar on TV for $19.95.&nbsp; A price like that preys upon the uneducated collector since you can get one for much less from any reputable dealer.</p><p><br /></p><p>You might want to sell mechanically doubled coins,&nbsp; you may find buyers for mechanically doubled coins.&nbsp; I just feel that the person buying them doesnt understand what they are buying.&nbsp; To me it&#039;s just wrong.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also I do not know anyone who understands the minting process who actively pursues, collects or pays a premium for mechanically doubled coins.&nbsp; </p><p>Bill[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
