So what's up with that? Early stages to the 1955 DDO's? There's another one currently for sale too. 122301641176 Report this Post to the Staff

cwb Pillar of the Community United States 3463 Posts	Posted 01/09/2017 12:06 pm Rotated double or triple strikes do happen, sometimes the coin can even flip over and be struck again, but this one is misaligned and most likely happened like Mike said. It pays to be educated on coins if you're going to shop ebay. Here is a genuine rotated double-strike in collar from Jon Sullivan. There are more images of some of these on this page: http://www.lincolncentsonline.com/error3.html If someone had a genuine example of this, it would be worth the time and expense to have it certified. Beware of raw errors if you are not familiar with them. Report this Post to the Staff
moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 01/09/2017 1:09 pm $825 ? Somehow, and maybe it's just because this forum is educated, I thought error collectors were all about how a coin is minted and how errors occur. Some of the stuff that goes for major bucks on ebay really disproves that opinion of the general population of error collectors. Report this Post to the Staff

The strength of the doubled die should match exactly what you want to buy. No extra or incorrect doubling should be in place. Report this Post to the Staff
