Although a common error, has it ever been considered rare and valuable?

 Not usually to serious collectors, but I have seen them bring over $20.00 on E-Bay. Maybe today's generation of new collectors is starting to collect them or they are just mistaking them for doubled dies. Edited by cwb

When people list them on ebay, I look at their auctions to see what they missed as hub doubled. Sometimes it works. I've seen worthless machine damage exceed known doubled dies. In fact if enough of them are listed, the real variety coins will be passed over. I gout a 2001P-1DO-001 for less than $2 onetime. No one else bid on it. http://www.coppercoins.com/lincoln/...ie_state=eds |

I think anyone who shops on ebay for their coins had better know their coins. Too many sellers either don't know them or purposely mislead people about them. Check out the 1970 small dates on there and you'll see what I mean! |

The biggest clue when to run? When the listing goes on and on and on that tries to get you to believe it is something when it is not!

I've seen some crazy stuff sell on ebay for waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay to much money. With me just learning about coins even I can spot the one's pushing nonsense and that really nothing. I actually was thinking about this exact thing the other day. Either buyers are clueless or some people are starting to actually collect these types. I haven't figured out which one yet. |

IMHO,yes. When it is a major MD they look neat,I keep them and put them in a 2x2. The major MD's will bring a small premium. John1  |

Yes, but when I have very strong examples, I like to keep them

Although a common error, Isn't machine doubling/die chatter nothing more than just damage? That's just what it is, an error. A doubled die is a variety, not an error. Quote:An error occurs when there is a problem with the making of the coin, not in the die itself. There are three different types of errors, planchet errors, die errors, and mint striking errors. Some examples are: Strike Doubling, laminations, struck through, off center, clipped planchets, capped dies, Grease Filled Dies, die adjustment strikes, and die clashes. Varieties are mistakes in the die and many coins get minted that are exactly the same. There are literally hundreds of Lincoln Cent varieties. Some examples of different types of varieties are: doubled dies and re-punched mint marks. Many collectors today don't understand the difference between the two and will advertise a doubled die as an error coin and so on. http://www.lincolncentsonline.com/error.html |

They can bring a premium something on early coins, double profile large cents and capped bust halves etc.

I keep the major ones because they are not real common.

I once sold a nice MD Jefferson nickel for $20.00. I really took that guy. By the way the guy's name was Mike Diamond. Evidently some command a premium. |

I have to go with JOhn1. If they are major MD then they do bring a small premium. Sometimes more than a true minor DDO / DDR. I see no problem with them being sold on ebay as long as the seller clearly list it as such. While I have never sold a MD cent, I have sold LWC with minor DDs without mentioning it, because; really the market just isn't that large for the minor DDs. Yet there is some excitement over some of the really spectacular MD. I too put them away. |
