<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisbauman, post: 289440, member: 9097&quot;]I&#039;m fascinated with both type of errors, however I&#039;m beginning to really take notice to the double struck and I was just wondering from a collectible stand point which do others on this board who are&nbsp; a fan of these coins prefer the smooth edge or double struck???&nbsp; &nbsp; Ok, from a investment standpoint I&#039;m going with the Adams smooth edges for a hopeful nice return within 2 years, the Adam&#039;s double struck is next on my list, and finally the Washington smooth edges last (not to optimistic about these because of the projected 150k plus out there).&nbsp; Now from a collectible standpoint which is the more fascinating coin that you would like to show off if you were at a family gathering.&nbsp;&nbsp; For me, I&#039;m really starting to like these double struck because I like the fact that each individual double struck has its own unique error and I can&#039;t recall any other error in the history of US Coins where you had a famous error with so many different ways the error could look.&nbsp;&nbsp; Furthermore, with a double struck you can sit there and look around the edge to see the interesting alignment of letters and numbers, whereas with the smooth edge you just look at the edge and say oh wow no writing there.&nbsp;&nbsp; I&#039;m also beginning to wonder what are the odds of anymore double strucks coming out of the Mint.&nbsp; I would say it would be much more likely for a presidential dollar to miss the edging process as opposed to some how finding its way through the edging machine twice.&nbsp;&nbsp; Ok now for the survey,</p><p><br /></p><p>A) I prefer a double struck over a smooth edge from a collectible standpoint.</p><p><br /></p><p>B) I prefer a smooth edge over a double struck from a collectible standpoint.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also when stating your answer please keep in mind this is only from a collectible standpoint and don&#039;t let the investment factor be part of your answer.&nbsp;&nbsp; In other words, what coin do you think would be the nicest to show off to family and friends.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
