Quite true. Although rotated, one-sided double strikes do exist, they are quite rare among business strikes.

Now that you mentioned that, I remember one I've got images of somewhere.  Edited by coop

Yes, they're more common in proofs which, as you know, receive two or more strikes as a matter of course.

I was wondering if you would consider selling your fake 1964 cent?

Sorry, but it is part of my counterfeit collection and not for sale. However, I do see these now and again on ebay now that I know what they are, although usually listed as a real double strike and thus even though fake they probably go for more than you'd want to pay for one. |

I might be a little late but welcome back.
Five bucks to add a coin to your collection isn't bad but it would have been better if it had been real.

Thanks! Still scratching a few insect bites but overall survived fairly well unscathed. Buried in Lincolns right now as one of my suppliers got in over 20,000 in the last two weeks. I'll start posting things again soon enough but just have to get through a few thousand more of them first to reduce the copper mountain in my office. The one bag looks to just be 5000 1958-P B/U from a mint bag so nothing to do with those but sell them off and they'll go away, but the others are a huge mix of everything and need time to sort out.

Wow TB, well as long as you're alive and having fun sounds good. But 20K is a lot of cents...

20K is a bunch, and will take me close to two weeks to finish up. By which time there will be all kinds of other stuff gathering in the corners needing attention. But so far it's been pretty quick work with just a couple finds. 1936 DDO-002 in VF, 1956 RPM-001 in AU and as always a couple of Retained Cuds. Nothing earth shattering. |

I too0k a trip to Alabama some years ago. I stopped in each town along the way picking up cents from the banks. By the time I got home I had $450+ in cents. That was fun.

Informative thread. Thanks for the heads up mike.
TB, was the seller one you have bought from before?
Selling it for only five bucks makes me wonder if they knew it was fake.

Yes, I know the seller and regularly buy from him. I mentioned the fake to him later and he didn't commit either way as to knowing or not knowing what it was. But generally he sells error coins well below market value so unsure where he was on it. But I don't remember anything odd about the deal, as he often adds "maybe" "odd" and suchlike modifiers noting that he isn't sure about certain error coins. Couple times I've gotten great capped die coins for five bucks and a couple times I've gotten something that wasn't what he thought it was. But for the price I don't mind taking a chance and in general really like the guy.

Thanks for the update TB.
We all tend to have a feel for the sellers we frequent.
I use to get supposedly unsearched Unc. rolls from one seller for years until his story didn't add up. A pair of (1954?)S mints in a roll of '52d's. I was reluctant to part ways because I found some nice varieties in his rolls. The final straw was when I realized he would sometimes use stock images of nice rolls but send different, less attractive rolls.
