<p>[QUOTE="jaceravone, post: 359737, member: 9474"]Anthony - Have you seen this lot or are you planning on buying this lot sight unseen. There is a couple of things that should be noted - first, are these true double dies or do they have mechanical doubling that someone is calling a double die. I have made this mistake several times and thought I had some "valuable" coins until I really learned the difference. Second, I have also found in my limited experience with DD that the poorer the quality of coin (i.e. - good, very good, fine) the harder it is to see the double die unless it is extremely pronounced. Also, with this normal wear there is typically dirt and other stuff deposited on the coin that sometimes prevents the person from seeing if it truly a DD or something else. Just my two cents. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
