well, I'm glad to know this forum has a great sense of humor other wise I'm sure id be booted out by now lol. I apologixmze for being all over the place. my computer is being fixed and I'm trying to post and post pictures from my phone. ( never a good idea) lol. anyhoot, I sent 8 additional photos about the 1983 doubled die reverse Lincoln Cent. First 4 are shots of a coin I have and the other 4 ate shots of the coun sold at Heritage Auction recently. Just looking at the similarity in - E Pluribus can someone describe to me why they might look similiar when from the original feed back I received proves their obvioysly not. really appreciate it if you can let me know what I'm seeing thats obvious that I cant see. Again thank you, and I promise ill wait to post again when my computer is back up.and running. Thank you for your patients with my clumbsy posting  |

Thank you, John1, Cookiemonster, and Coops for your replies. Your responses have lead me to ask another question. If a coin lets say a 1983 P Lincoln Cent for example has some true DDR that has been confirmed, but the coin does not show all the DD as seen in the Heritage coin. My question is, would that coin still be considered a true DDR where it's been confirmed that it does have some DDR? Obviously the value would be significantly lower than that of the Heritage coin, and would then become a seperate coin with a different description and number or maybe not? My other question I have is If a coin is found to have true DD but also has MD, and or SD does that then void the coin from being a true DD and if not does the combination of die error now deplete any value the coin would have had if there werent die varieties showing on the coin. Im using the 1983p Lincoln as my learning tool because I have 26 brand new shinny 1983 coins where everyone shows some similiarity to the heritage coin. I'm aware most likely none have true DD but Until I can rule stuff out I have to start somewhere. Thank you again for everyones guidance. |

There are three DDR's on Wexler site, http://doubleddie.com/828823.htmlThere are 9 classes of doubled dies. A coin can be a true doubled die and have Machine Doubling as well. To most collectors of doubled dies, the value of that coin would be less than a coin without the MD. John1 |

As far as voiding it out, it does not. If you had it graded, then it would still be a doubled die. But when you try to sell it, then the buyer may not be interested with the Machine Doubling on the coin. It would be a deal breaker for me. Because when I go to sell it, it would be a hard sale unless a newbie bought it. Heritage coins is like the "Berritt-Jackson" of car auctions. (I know I miss spelled that) On Heritage coins you roll with the big guys there.So basically the price is what someone will pay you for the coin or what you will sell it for. Price guides are just that. To the right seller/buyer it goes as an issue for each coin. |

if you had half of roll of them the price would come down more supply then demand, you would have to find 26 buyers  |

Thank you again for all the information on whexler John, And CM I did immediately think the same thing, because I have so many of these the old supply and demand would definitely come into play, and of course thats only if yhey were DD I started collecting coins for the fun and still do, but recently I've realized I have so many coins and many still look like new from the 50's on, thought I might have a few graded for the fun of it and just see what grade they pull. I would like to be able to spot the DD errors. I was reading something Coops put out to help educate those wanting to learn how to spot DD's and it was very informative. He put a test on their that I took the other night. lol. I didnt check to see if he gave the answers, but I'm gonna look tonight. Not so sure I want to know lol. Of course while taking it I thought I did great. lol lol. I have a feelling thats not gonna be the case. lol, anyway the write ups are really helpful. More test quizes would be great lol You guys are the best. Thank you |
