I guess everybody collects Machine Doubling now. It's the new thing. We're all just on the outs of a big market.  |

While I agree the listing is questionable, what reason would the seller have to believe jasper ?
I certainly wouldn't take somebody's opinion as gospel unless I knew them or checked our their reputation as an expert.And as somebody already mentioned,it is not being sold as a specific error.
A fool and his money are soon parted,life is full of those lessons.

I also informed him. He replied but he displayed a "so what" attitude.

My question is: Why in the world would that coin grade MS66? If quality of strike counts, I see no way that could grade that high. I understand the coin is mint state, but eye appeal is out the window, in my opinion. What is appealing to the eye about a blurry 3 and "LI"? Would a VLDS 1984 Jefferson nickel, with all those flow line they have, fresh from the mint grade that high? I am glad this came up. I piddle with mostly circulated stuff because I don't know enough about mint state coins and their grades. This could turn out to be a learning experience for me. |

Lol. I guess the LCR membership does not care that it has one of it's own swindleing folks with these "error" coins. Lots of self righteous indignation for so little action.

Quote:This sale is for (1) of the HOT new 2013 D Lincoln Cent Anomaly. Some collectors call these worthless errors. Some call it a die adjustment strike, Die Deterioration, plate buckling..some say it may be the "poor mans doubled Die" for 2013..They are indeed Unique for this year.. It is BU and was taken from (OBW) Original Bank Wrapped roll. These rolls were taken directly from a brick of 2500 pennies. The person we received it from was fortunate to get the first 2013 D Shield Lincoln cents released this year..The Pictures are for illustration only. You will receive 1 coin with very similar Doubling..like the ones in the photo. The coin will have a double like '3' and double like 'D'. We appreciate your business. This seller is slightly more up front about the coin admitting "Some collectors call these worthless ". Unfortunately the seller also calls it "Unique for this year". |

This thread has been very helpful to me as similar ones have been. Anytime that sellers on ebay can be brought out by their "questionable" practices from the members here. I've bought off ebay before as many here have done and while my budget keeps me out of many items I would love to have, I have been taken before with seemingly no recourse on my part. As to these Lincolns, it seems they are angling toward what some collectors "think" are errors. I may have looked at these in the past but I have gained knowledge from threads HERE about Machine Doubling and the like. I save them out of the roll searching I've done but if NGC doesn't even feel the need to comment on it on a graded coin than it's clear to me where this seller is angling. It's very much the same as the sellers on TV screaming about how "stupid" their pricing is and you would be "foolish" to not buy whatever item their selling. The misleading descriptions, vague or enhanced photography and other sales tools have put me off so much that is the reason why I'll try to use our local stores as much as possible. I know that my main store has seen business drop so much because of ebay that is the reason he set up his own store there. Thanks for all the knowledge here!! |

Dude knows exactly what he's selling and he doesn't care as long as he makes a buck. I put him in the same category as the guys that sell 1 ounce silver clad bars.
