    Not as bad as the guy trying to sell the "Dryer" Penny as a rare error for 100k a few months back. The funny thing is, even in his description he put that he didn't know anything about coins.

    I'll hijack my own thread. I just opened a customer wrapped roll of pennies and 36 of them were red 1971 ranging from XF to AU. I got my hopes up that one of them would be a DDO, but nope. I'm keeping them anyway. Maybe they will be worth a few bucks each in 20 years.

    Do I have a competition on him? I think I will list mine and start bidding for .99 cents.

    What you all think?

    Based on the statement in his ad "I would Love to hear from Error Coins Collector."
    I sent him this: "
    Your coin is struck through debris, leaving the "L" unstruck. The doubling is not from the dies, it is from die chatter. Both of those are common occurrences. If you really believe that that coin will make the Red Book, why don't YOU submit it? Are you afraid of the truth? By listing this coin as you have, you are hurting the hobby, and insulting true collectors. Please reconsider your attempt to peddle this obvious fake to some unsuspecting, naive newcomer to the hobby."
    He responded with: "you are such a fu-king idiot. I BET YOU HAVE A COLLECTION OF ****"

    I'm really surprised that his feedback of 94.1% is that high.

    basically if you dont have 99.99% or 100% it means you are a bad seller/buyer.

    94.1 is one of the lowest if not the lowest i have ever seen.

    It does have some Double Die characteristic's but that is a bit high for that. I have to agree with the rest of you. I only have one error coin I think could be worth that kind of money. I just recently found that as it is in an uncirculated 1972 mint set. But it actually appears "artistic" in the error. The eye appeal is very high on the error. It sort of speaks to you..

    It looks as if the Lincoln Memorial is exploding and the parts are flying all over the place and blasting off the lettering on the reverse.

    The main reason I think this is worth that much is "I just don't want to sell it"... LOL

    What do you think? Is Lincoln Blasting his way out of that place?

    Now I am not real certain of this sites abilities. if you can't enlarge this enough to get a good look let me know how big I can upload I can adjust the main jpg down. This one was shrunk.

    The "oF" is completely gone, as is the "E" in E PLURIBUS, the PL and IBUS are disintegrating in the blast. The "STATES" and the "A" in America also appears to be disintegrating in the blast.

    It's cool, Lincoln stands out really great even when looking thru an eye piece because the roof above him is missing "Blown away?" He just glows. Some pillars appear to be double struck. Debris goes all the way out to the rim. Most of this is excess slag on the coin not scratches or gouges. But the Planchet was a poor polish. Especially on the obverse.

    I decided to call it "End of his Union" as I have reservations as to where our country is going these days... LOL (O.K. Give me a break, I'm old! LOL)

    What do you think, Just a Virgin Mary image in the piece of toast thing?? LOL :D
