I agree with SAP. Also here I see in the last time same tendencies. Imposing a rare error and what price. If you answer honest and explain you are begin to be slam, or to tell you that you are nothing or do not know nothing. So that it is.

I run an instagram where I sometimes post my recent acquisitions and people from all over the world write to me asking me to evaluate coins or offer me something to buy. They just throw me a ton of photos, often of poor quality with a purchase offer. CCF has a very active Pinterest page, gets over 400K views a month. I log in every 2 or three days and every time there is over 100 messages exactly like you describe. I don't even read them anymore, I just delete and block them all. |

Carr, every morning I read google news. Almost every day I see an article along the lines of "That (coin) in your change could be worth [exorbitant $$$] - what to look for!".
Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

A huge issue is when you tell these people their coin isn't special, they genuinely don't believe you, you're lying and trying to rip them off. I've seen this countless times with all types of coins. Common 1921 Morgan dollar walked in, the customer was offered 23 dollars and they declined. They had seen something on the internet and it was worth thousands. When shown the RedBook and greysheet price, the customer stated, "You don't have a picture of my exact coin, so I don't believe you." You realize when you know how to think, it empowers you far beyond those who know only what to think.

We had a guy come to the house once with his collection for Susan to sell on consignment, said he had a Morgan worth 80K. When he got there it was in a Gallery Grading MS 68 slab (remember those ones curved on the bottom), it was only barely AU. The guy freaked so bad we almost had to call the cops, he thought we were trying to scam him out of his $80,000 coin.

Bobby You are 1ooo time correct on this. I have One who come to me to sell an 36 Dot CAN penny. I do not say nothing, I took the 2x2 to look (I know could not be) then I say it is not and I am not interesting on his coin, to look forward.
Hey, was a mass after. Insults of all kind of things (French language here have 10x more then English). I had to use force to made him go out. (at Least here the police look at to you first).
Is crazy what is happened. Look at this friendly forum answers what is with all contradicting and argues. The liberty of fake and change reality about coins put the fingerprint.

All kinds of posts for all kinds of reasons. New inheritance, strange looking coin in hand, heard of get rich with a great coin, saw something on utube. No matter the reason this is a coin forum so the images will be posted, the questions will be asked, some with no experience at all, some with limited experience. Not everyone who pops their nose in here is a coin enthusiast, they just want an answer and then move on. It's the platform for it, it gets used as such, to do research for a novice collector with limited knowledge of even doubled dies, terminology and such could be an overwhelming endeavor. Again I will say this is "the platform" that an individual can come to where people have the knowledge base to assist. I see pics posted from members with very high post counts...still asking is this what I think it is? When in doubt ask, if the hobby is cared about the person will seek the learning needed to continue. What is obvious to some is not necessarily to another. Think back to the very first experience collecting coins did you identify and know everything...just thoughts...from a novice collector.

Looks like this post was resurrected from a year ago. I hope COOP comes back to the forum soon,
but his replies here seem to be from a year ago.

In my opinion, there are many "types" of so called coin collectors. One being the person who is genuinely interested in making the process of collecting a learning experience while at the same time admiring and enjoying the craftmanship in each coin. Learning about hubs, collars and single strikes, etc. is exciting and so is understanding such things as DDR, DDO and MD. Thank God for sites like CCF where you can chat with people who have the same passion that you do. It doesn't have to be a major DDO to get the old heart pumping. A "minor" DDO or DDR or die chip or lamination can cause a person to keep filling the jars with coins picked up in change or from parking lots. The only way to learn is ask...That's why there is so much conversation about doubled die coins.. We want to know by learning. Then there's the person who will post a coin on CCF that he found in his mother in law's pocket book wanting to know one thing "How much can I sell it for"... |

Why Does Everyone Think They Have A Doubled Die? Simple equation: Uninformed "collectors" + Youtube videos = "is this a Double(d) Die?" |
