Some shady stuff going on here and multiple buyers that don't know any better, IMHO.

Indeed the ebay link provided looks like a "Counterfeiter's Dream" of fake coins. Yikes.

I don't know how they're doing it but definitely fake. 3-D printer?

Ingenious but obvious fake. Just couldn't have happened in the real world.

Some of the doubling is so pronounced that certainly it would be listed on all 3 of the major sites.

It looks like multiple listing of the same error coins, and all of them has that unnatural soft strike appearance.

Taken from ebays' page Quote:rodmar8566 is one of ebay's most reputable sellers. Well then these coins must be real.....

Thanks for confirming that I was not hallucinating  One thing I noticed is that all the coins with multiple doubling look too glossy and shimmery and look plated, wondering if excessive layers of chrome or copper plating help the devices overlap in the correct direction  At least we now can see what a quadruple,quintuple,sextuple and septuple die will look like

The only certified coin (ANACS in MS66) had a very short auction title "US Coin". No dramatic, drawn-out descriptions intending to manipulate folks. That seems to be very telling.
Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.
