<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Shoewrecky, post: 1259269, member: 22350&quot;]First off sending a picture to Ken Potter doesn&#039;t do justice as sending the real coin. The fact that you didn&#039;t send the actual coin to him makes me believe that it is a not a true doubled die. I state that because he (Ken Potter) will only be able to tell from the picture you sent vice being able to hold the coin in hand and if you have a bad quality picture than it will make it that much harder to tell&nbsp; if it is a true DD or MD. If your so called experts was able to tell that you had a real DD then why not take it to one of the top tier&#039;s TPGs? </p><p><br /></p><p>You said &quot;You can only give a true and accurate opinion if you are a grader or an expert in coin collection&quot; is just a flat out bunch of BS. How do you think these &quot;experts&quot; became experts? They all had to start somewhere and you don&#039;t learn from not practicing..Also has many times, these experts are taking an educated guess, there is no exact answer to grading.</p><p><br /></p><p>Again you wrote &quot;It seems like with some of the people on this site they try to say what is double die and not.&quot; this is because people who are new here post pictures of DD all the time when 99.5% of the time it is either a form of Die Deterioration,&nbsp; Mechanical Doubling, Split Plate Doubling etc.. from there it get&#039;s worse, these same people who swear up and down that it is a true DD argue until there&#039;s no tomorrow. there are a lot of intelligent people that have years of experience that can tell/has the knowledge of what a true DD looks like and will not BS you because they are not here to take money from you like some dealers/coin experts. </p><p><br /></p><p>You state: Every double die is machine doubling regardless, but people choose to put value on the coins they believe has value to it&quot; No that is totally false, not even close..please do your research because Machine Doubling and Doubled die.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you know a double die is hard to come by then you know there&#039;s no double die and it&#039;s a double<b>d </b>die. if you believe it&#039;s a true DD then take it to NGC or PCGS. </p><p><br /></p><p>best of luck and I hope you are right that it is a DD.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
