1969 S Double Die?

sorry

I 100% agree with coppercoins!

Sad that somebody got ripped off like that. Yes, the buyer should of done more research but ebay just lets this happen again and again. Wonder if eventually there will be a class action suit against them?

It is nice to have a person on this board that ebay will listen to. I have tried to report stuff but they don't listen.

OK!Thank you for you comments and critics!
AFTER LOT OF COMMENTS THAT MY COINS IS MD I SOLD IT AS NORMAL UNCIRCULATED COIN FROM MINT SET WITH DOUBLING OBVERSE AND REVERSE.I AGREED WHAT MD COINS WORTHLESS FOR NOW (LIKE DD COINS WORTHLESS 100 YEARS AGO), BUT MY COIN IS UNCIRCULATED FROM MINT SET.PCGS PRICE 1969S IS ABOUT $20 TO $30 FOR MS65 AND JUMP $110 TO $180 FOR MS66.I AM NOT AGREED THIS COIN WORTHLESS AS A COIN ITSELF...
THANKS AGAIN FOR CRITICS.THE ONLY REASON I AM IN THIS FORUM IS TO LEARN ABOUT ERROR COINS ...
It is copy of description of coin from e-bay:This auction for 1969 S Lincoln Memorial cent MINT ERROR.(I think ,you all agreed that MD - is Mint Error too.)

This coin from 1969 Mint Set. It is UNCIRCULATED COIN.The coin has very nice details and exhibits Strike Doubling on the REVERSE AND OBVERSE.(MD description - I am not using words "DOUBLE DIE")

1969S double die? Machine doubling? I don't know.(I LET BUYER KNOW THAT I DON'T KNOW ABOUT MD OR DD.
Plus,I provided 12Megapix. picture - you can see bacteria when you enlarge coin.
Please enlarge the pictures, and examine and grade for yourself before you bid.
REFUND: If for any reason you are not happy with this coin and it is returned within 3 days of receiving you will receive a Full refund of the Winning bid amount
And finally I offered REFUND if buyer not like coin for any reason.


PEACE!

1. Machine Doubling is NOT a mint error, and you could find that printed in this forum a thousand times if you could find it here once. It is an accepted and completely normal part of the minting process, and that horse has been beat to death here MANY times.

2. PCGS price guide is for PCGS graded coins. Unless your coin is in a holder, its value is $1 or less.

3. Because the coin came from a mint set does NOT make it automatically more valuable. Once it is removed from a mint set it is a simple uncirculated coin just like the other tens of millions of examples out there.

4. Your description is misleading because you were TOLD that your coin was NOT a doubled die by a number of people who DO know what they are talking about - including me. I have been studying this for over 30 years and have published TWO books on the subject.

5. Refunds are nice, but they are rather worthless unless the buyer knows the coin isn't worth what you sold it for. If I painted a brick gold and sold it to you as gold, if you trusted me that it was gold you wouldn't be looking for a refund.

6. What you did is probably the biggest no-no in coin selling. You were told you had nothing, yet still sold it to someone who doesn't know any better as 'something' and played stupid to get bids. What you did does NOTHING at all to help the numismatic community, because you probably just turned a new collector away from the hobby by playing on his ignorance. And YOU KNEW you were doing it. Sob stories about losing a job DO NOT give you the inalienable right to shaft other people out of THEIR money with shady practice. It's wrong, and the ONLY way to right the wrong is to send the guy's money back and let him keep the $1 coin for his trouble and tell him you don't know what you are doing and were corrected by someone who does.

ANYTHING short of that and you can basically consider yourself unwelcome in these parts as far as I am concerned.

There is NOTHING that grinds at me more than a consciousless swindler who parts money from beginners with lies. It's a real business killer for all of us hard working people who have spent YEARS working to build the reputation of trust in numismatics that people like you endlessly try to crash down.

And no - I'm NOT at all regretful or sorry about this. I think it's completely shameful to do what you did, and it's even worse to come back here justifying it with half-truths.

Wow. What completely floors me is the utter lack of remorse or guilt for fleecing an obviously uninformed victim. Most people would feel a little guilty, yet the impression I get is a cold sense of pride and justification. I use to laugh when I heard the saying that capitalism kills the heart, but wow, I guess there are kernels of truth in all those old sayings.
