This is my first find using Wexler's, so your feedback would be invaluable. WDDR-031 Doubling of the 7th column Die gouge above R in TRUST Die gouge right of 8th column Die scratch south of first bay
What do you think about value? I was considering having it slabbed, but if it's only worth a buck or two I'll keep it in a flip.
I’m seeing a plating bubble that looks kinda like the error you referenced. Note the difference in height. Doubled dies NEVER change like that the height of the head never changes so the height of the error should also be constant. Also the die marker near the 8th column is lower on the error coin than the plating bubble you quote as being the marker on your coin. Sorry I just don’t see it. Sell it on EBay, some sucker will buy it for $8 or $10. Reed.
It's not a plating bubble and most certainly displays what has come to be accepted as genuine doubling. In fact, I've repeatedly suggested folks new to this area search out this exact type of coin as a means of training their eye, and simply because they're very common on later memorials. There's so many out there that one cannot reasonably expect any listing of them to be complete. In my most humble opinion, Eddie is right, though; even a few dollar value estimate is too high and for the reason stated above.
And this is exactly why I don’t collect post 1982 cents anymore. I just keep the fun stuff and the visible errors I find when roll searching. It does seem that every new bump is an error these days but I don’t care because in the end every coin I own is worth 1 cent! I’m sure I’ve tossed 1000’s of those errors in the bank dump bags! If it doesn’t catch my eye with X5 magnification......toss Didn’t mean to mislead anyone. Reed.
I see the point Reed made about the die marker by the 8th column and anticipated that someone might bring it up. The obvious "bright" spot is indeed a bubble and the actually die gauge is SW of it which is assuredly present on this coin.
You're good, and that certainly wasn't what I was trying to suggest. These things are exceedingly minor, plentiful, and of questionable origin imo, but I don't make the rules. They are good for training one's eye, though. On a personal level, I agree with you.
