<p>[QUOTE="beef1020, post: 3167425, member: 24544"]I get where you all are coming from, but I am also inclined to give the dealer a little slack. This minor doubling business is really, really, really niche stuff. If every dealer had to be aware of every niche of this hobby there would be no dealers. Now if he missed a 55 or 72 or 83 DDO that's a different story. And your text is likely with a customer service rep, not a numismatist. They are a large volume bullion and bulk coin dealer, their customer reps should not be coin experts, they should be trained customer service people.</p><p><br /></p><p>I've said it before, at this level of image separation you are really just collecting wheat cent varieties. What makes this die marriage any more special than the thousands of other die marriages? And if your answer is a minuscule die shift, then why not also be interested in minuscule diagnostic tool marks for other dies? I'm not a half way type of person, I'd either like these because I collect them by variety or I would stick to the major errors, YMMV.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
