Biedercoins, thanks! That was the reference I was looking for, remember reading in error-ref.com that it had to do with an ejection problem, this article really explains the function of the collar and mechanical operation that Mike Diamond doesn't directly in error-ref!  |

E&V, I would hold off on saying things like "worth only 1 cent" on anything except heavily damaged coins. Machine damage doubling has a collector base. I would never spend money on an example, but some do. This one was worth WAY more than 1 cent to someone. Heck, it sold for more than a strong doubled die sells for sometimes, and it was advertised correctly. I think this is what Chase is getting at. To each his/her own. https://www.ebay.com/itm/1972-Strik...57Ciid%253A2 |

jay, you hit it on the nail , you stated a very valid point and in addition I think it would be a turn off for a new member who is basically trying to learn about his/her coin rather than getting shut down and be told the coin is only worth face value which is totally irrelevant particularly when the OP is not even requesting the value! |

Well, I do not like coins with MD as it's a turn off to me. I would not pay 45.00 for a coin with MD on it. It's nothing special to me at all. Chase, you have made me angry about this whole thing and please stop now. I want this to end now. I don't want to keep going on and on about this. Please give me peace now. Now leave me alone and stop making a little issue a big deal. Chase remember you don't have to like me at all. Read this Chase. http://www.lincolncentresource.com/...oubling.html It said that MD are not of significant value to collectors. Errers and Varietys.

It doesn't really matter what turns you on or off. There are a lot of collectors that think variety and error collectors are loony. It still doesn't give you a right to tell someone their coin is junk when the results tell a completely different story. Even within variety collectors you have different opinions. Quite a few think the shield cent doubled dies (or most single squeeze doubled dies period), and class 6 doubled dies shouldn't even be considered doubled dies because there is no separation seen. You have the doubled column Lincolns. "How can you call a little bump a doubled die?" Me, I collect them all. Even the little crappy RPMs with one split corner on the D. It doesn't mean I can force others to think they are collectible. I have 7 or 8 rolls of doubled column Lincolns that aren't even listed anywhere. Collect what you like and let others do the same. That is the point being made here. No one has a right to assign values except the buyer of the coin.

Alright Jay. Let's leave there as that. Case closed. I get your point and Chase's point. I shouldn't have been saying that stuff. You know even if the little column DDR's are minor, heck I still love to collect them because of how abundant they are in circulation. I collect pretty much anything as long as it interest me. Now let's forget about what happened. I hope you don't hate me for what I've done. I hope we still remain friends. Forgive me for what I've done. I won't say that one cent crap anymore.

No sir. I don't hate you in any way. I don't even dislike you a little. I really enjoy the coins you post and most of your commentary. No worries buddy.

Thanks man. I just need to be a little more careful about my comments. I am sorry about what I said earlier. The bank box I went through I didn't have the best luck with it, but hey at least I found one error coin. I also found a lot of Wheat and Canadian cents as the bank boxes I get are loaded with them. :)

I just combined the information from the minterrorcoins.com site and the images from my image host. It put the information on one image and it is ready for the next time this subject comes up. If someone else copies the image then they can use it on their image host, and post it. Leave the copyright information in place and it is a winner.

I see. That's pretty cool what you can do with the images.

The lead-off coin is not a stiff collar error and does not look like a partial collar error. The edge appears grooved in the manner of a bicycle tire rim, rather than stepped. That, plus some exposure of the zinc core, would indicate that this is some form of post-strike damage.
