A lot of confusion here.
a) "grade" is used loosely. No need for a semantics lesson btw "attribution" and "grade". Why assume lack of knowledge? C'mon.
b) NONE of the ddo's have sold, or are selling, on Ebay, since the discovery in 2021, for whatever the coin sold for. It IS listed in PCGS as a $50k sale, that sold "for best offer".
You people have taken FALSE information and ran with it. No for sale or have sold. So saying its worth some fictitious amount based on erroneous Ebay data is JUST as bad as believing mine would be worth the "Discovery" coin value, whatever that is.
WHY, WHY do you people get SO UPSET over a hobby? You want to strike down every little thing to belittle and demean someone. Even if it means taking things out of context and running with false information. $50k = ridiculous (ok, just going with the FACTS and data availble). Currently selling for $80 or less = FALSE, fake data. Two opposites of the spectrum but you people jump all over the high number and run with the low number. I can only solidify my opinion that it is greed and jealousy.
Just try what I do: a) READ the original post, B) give the information you KNOW to be valid and don't go off rumor, C) Do not assume the OP knows less than you: offer advice something like this, "you can get it "attributed" but "grading" might cost more than its worth...but we know less than you about the coin, so your call". |

| 1990's Quarter With Doubled Eye?

I havent found any examples of quarters with a doubled eye.
QUESTION: Do any ddo quarters exist that show a doubled eye? I found a "clashed die" that looked a little like my pics but did not have two points, and this shows no other clash marks: which one would expect with a strong clash that left a inclusion near the eye.
I'm NOT going to argue this is a ddo, just if there are ddo quarters with a doubled eye?
No need for more images or front and back, the question is: "are there examples of any quarters with a doubled eye"?

"the image you are comparing against is a 'perfect world' example"
I looked through MANY pics and found zero that looked anything like mine. What do you want me to do? ...post 10 images to compare to. LOL
Comparing the ideal to the variety/error is the ONLY way to find an error. WHAT are you on? Seriously, how many meds do you take?
WOW!!! Just when I thought you groupies couldnt get any worse. TOOOOOO FUNNY!!
(ps...not arguing the actual topic, just a pathetically horrible statement regarding finding error coins. It won't matter though. You people are on autopilot and have found a great place to make yourselves believe that you are in a position of authority).  |

"@Dearborn... Now I'm bad lol. I didn't read what the poster wrote. I went by what you said, the circling."
-This is my BIGGEST issue with online forums like this. People only go from the prior person's post and will NOT READ the OP. Then, it gets all convoluted with FALSE information that was never stated and the argument over people stating things that arent true, were never stated, and/or misinformation that is then ridiculed.
What then happens, these people cry that the OP is being defensive; when in fact its the people commenting that are creating the issues that are tangential to the original information. The narrative changes to defending what was said "clearly" in the original post to defending misinformation.
I know this will offend ALL but geeze. I shouldn't post on these boards. I am far more knowledgeable than the groupies who like looking at pictures and can't read.
Sorry, I know this offends you, and that you have "strength in numbers" but I also know you won't even read ONE SENTENCE to completion, let alone a paragraph. You see I'm off topic and discussing the misinformation. |

"Could you show full pic of both sides of coin for the good experts on here"
-I understand but I read over "coop's" guidance and doing what he said. There are multiple errors on the coin: weak clad on the reverse, strike-through on the obverse, probably a clash, which could explain the apparent doubling. Way too much to show the "experts" who are certainly already cringing reading what I'm writing now.
I did put an image next to mine to show the differences....and I'm getting "Pareidolia"? I don't know if actual differences can be imagined? LOL

silviosi,
I address testing and cost in my first post. In addition, a standard test would NOT be accurate enough to detect composition variation necessary to validate the expense of testing:
"As a rule of thumb the accuracy "out of the box" given by the difference between XRF....the accuracy out of the box for minerals can be within 20% of the lab assay or even more if the sample is not homogeneous enough" |

Dearborn,
"Copper will also turn to a reddish hue if heated as well." What looks "reddish" to you? Copper wont turn the color spectrum that I show, though. A spectrum that directly MATCHES the "steel" color chart. THAT is the point. The top pic was NOT heated. I don't understand why you tell me copper will turn reddish? The before pic does not look like copper, that is why I looked into the issue, and the heated (after) pic does not look "reddish".

Dearborn,
The top right penny is prior to heating. I was comparing to the Netherland quarter, that had similar color, and was implicated in the "wrong planchet" sold (images bottom right). But I don't think its the Netherland planchet because it would weigh 3.6 or so...
Also, I can't measure any more than one decimal with my scale. |

Dearborn,
"Your first images shows a cent along side another Foreign 'silver' cent from the Netherlands, then you show a color template of 'steel' colors resulting from different temps and cooling steps"
- it is the same penny. Just before and after heating. The heating was conducted and the colors are NOT soot or surface color.
I don't know the metal composition. I'm just stating that this penny has the "wrong" composition. I don't know how to test, the cost, or whether it would be worth trying for this penny?
I just think it is NOT the proper composition, and that I have demonstrated that.
Otherwise, not trying to do anything else with the penny. I will just keep it. Its cool looking, and was a cool experiment.

| 1927-D DDO Wheat Pennies, Comparing Die Stages?

...ever think about what a worn die does to a weak ddo? This "could" be an example, BASED on the d/d mint mark AND location, along with key markers identified at varietyvista (note: yes, these are worn coins)...I know people like to say "no, because" and nothing more. This is a "community", and I am very informed. I like my community to be able to communicate. LOL
I think, in this case, the machine doubling, from worn die, enhances the real doubled features? ...like the "2" and the eyelid///and also makes the d/d less obvious. I see quite a few ddo without "late stage" images. If this is a trend? maybe this "phenomenon is the reason? people discard as "machine doubling".
I pulled these pennies based on mint mark location, along with many others. Then, I selected 3 that could be, but only two showed the doubled eye-lid and convincing d/d mint marks...

| coinfrog, It is possibly a "lamination" issue, like I stated. "cud or lamination". There is a lot of lamination issues, like I stated, and actually a majority of "lamination" is "post strike", and occurs over time. There is a corrosion that takes place inside the coin. So the edge of the coin likely has become detached via corrosion. ...but why do I have to explain. Can't people on here be "positive"? |
