[QUOTE="19Lyds, post: 1996372, member: 15929"]Sending it in can be cheaper, in some cases, than putting up with the nonsensicle blather that the typical coin shop will spew out. I recall going to a coin shop in 2006 that had absolutely no idea what a Type 2 1972 Eisenhower Dollar was. I've talked with another fella that had a coin shop here in Auburn that swore up and down that his machine doubled 1970-S Lincoln was a doubled die! Since then, I just avoid Coin Shops for opinions on coin varieties since if it isn't a 55/55, they would have no clue on exactly what it was and, truth be told, these Doubled Ear coins are more or less a "specialty" type for modern variety collectors and the market is extremely thin on them. If you have trouble with that statement then I've got a roll of DDO-033 Minnesota Extra Tree quarters I'd like to sell ya. My advice for the OP is to contact Wexler and arrange to send the coin in. That way, he'll have an unbiased professional opinion on what his coin really is.[/QUOTE]
