<p>[QUOTE="SJVM, post: 744390, member: 21559"]In my eyes, eBay is one of the worst things to ever happen to error coin collecting. I constantly see obvious examples of strike doubling, ejection doubling and die deterioration doubling sell for ridiculous prices, when some of the true (but minor) doubled dies sell for almost nothing. I have had people bring me their "great eBay find" and it is tough to have to look them in the eyes and tell the truth about what they really bought. There is one seller in particular (at least recently) that has numerous coins listed using terms such as "WOW!! MASSIVE DOUBLED DIE!! HUGE ERROR!!. Just a quick look at the photo shows that each of the coins are nothing but the types I mentioned above (at least the ones I have seen). This is one area where a sellers "feedback rating" is a joke. I will never understand how someone who is both buying a coin online and are not experienced enough to know better, will not take the few minutes to research it first. It is all just very sad and is pulling good people away from the hobby.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
