[QUOTE="Oldhoopster, post: 4621953, member: 84179"]I believe most of the demand that your referencing comes from New and inexperienced collectors who haven't learned the difference between hub doubling and the much more common machine doubling and die deterioration doubling. I'm the link that you posted, the seller doesn't say these coins are MD or DDD, which in my opinion is misleading. Go to any established error dealer and offer to sell them MD coins. There will be no interest. Ask if they have any ND coins for sale. They will say no. I feel that a true collecting interest for these coins does not exist and any sales are not to knowledgeable collectors. Without that, there is no sustainable market. In addition, doubled dies have a market because they occur infrequently. MD and DDD occur much more frequently. It's not like a 1955 DDO where there is only one die. How many dies are run until they deteriorate and how does that deterioration progress during the life of the die? How do you characterize them? While there is nothing wrong with saving MD and DDD coins if you like them, you just need to be aware that there is no serious collector demand and it would be very unlikely to find a buyer that would pay a premium for them when it's time to sell.[/QUOTE]
