When I make a bad purchase, do you know what I do with them? I save them as reminders of that event and make sure not to do the same again.

Coop, I will definitely won't do that again. That's a great idea Coop. This will remind me that I won't make a bad purchase again.

I agree that this coin is not a DDR. I have not seen a coin that resembles this one. It almost appears to me to be a dropped letter. Not sure though. Still Lookin

It can't be a "dropped letter" because the die design is raised to create the incuse lettering on the coin. I agree that the "E" is MD and not DD. As coop said, incuse devices are enlarged by MD, being the inverse of raised devices that are ensmallened by MD.

coop doesn't have a following without reason.

Questions/Comments:

The seller found this in circulation and then put it up on ebay. He had trouble selling this at first


How do you know that? I didn't see anything in the listing to suggest that and if they had trouble selling at that price, I'm not surprised.

40.00 is nothing compared to how much money I have in my budget. I can afford what I've lost.


That's great but, wouldn't spending that $40 on something authenticated be more enjoyable? It's my opinion but, that's a waste of $40. I've never spent that on a single coin. Remember those PCGS MS-65 War Nickels I posted with huge reverse die cracks? The most I paid between the two was $15 shipped. The other was $11.

That's why many of us post potential purchases here for opinions before buying. If you want to have the highest cost/lowest value collection then, I won't get in your way. To each their own, I guess.

I understand being excited about the hobby but, sometimes it turns into being over-zealous.

I will, like others, await Wexler's opinion now.

I won't make that same mistake ever again. I am still excited what John Wexler thinks about it. I will let everyone know about the news when John Wexler gets back to me. Thank you everyone for the help. :)
