Please grade and authenticate the error while describing exactly where the error is. Also put the corresponding number of the error that correctly describes this coin. If you have an idea of what this coin would be worth, I would appreciate your feedback. Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 11/08/2010 07:32 am Unfortunately you have a no-value added example of Machine Doubling. Your coin appears to be a VF Wheat cent worth about a nickel. Report this Post to the Staff
mdpmedia Pillar of the Community United States 3546 Posts	Posted 11/08/2010 11:54 am The guy that sold this to me insisted that left leg of the are of LIBERTY shows reduced thickness and this justifies calling it an error. Is he right even though the coin is only worth 5 cents? Report this Post to the Staff
biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 11/08/2010 12:13 pm Reduced thickness? That is the complete opposite of the appearance of a doubled die which creates extra thickness or device spread/separation depending on the doubled die classification. That sounds like someone who either has no clue or is intentionally trying to deceive. Even if this coin was a DDO, it would still not be an error- two completely different things. As it is, you have a nice mid 30s wheatie worth a few cents. If you paid for more than a common wheatie, you should get your money back. Report this Post to the Staff
mdpmedia Pillar of the Community United States 3546 Posts	Posted 11/08/2010 1:24 pm I apologize for my quick typing and failure to completely review my sentence before clicking 'send'. What I meant to say was that the guy that sold this coin to me said that it was worth about $ 10 - $ 15. He justified his statement by saying that the left bottom leg of the 'R' of LIBERTY appears to have reduced thickness (the height above the coin's surface) compared to the right leg. He then said that this particular feature is characteristic of a certain type of documented 1936 double date. Report this Post to the Staff
coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 11/08/2010 2:27 pm What the guy is relaying to you (incorrectly) is the fact that the upright of the are of LIBERTY was broken off on one of the hubs used to create 1936 cent dies. That hub was used in the creation of all three major doubled dies for 1936, but it is by no means the only marker for the doubled dies...the actual doubling has to be there as well...and you do not have it. See the links below: http://www.coppercoins.com/lincoln/...ie_state=mds http://www.coppercoins.com/lincoln/...ie_state=mds http://www.coppercoins.com/lincoln/...ie_state=lds Unfortunately what you have is a completely normal 1936 circulated cent that has no error or die variety. It's a five cent common coin. Edited by coppercoins 11/08/2010 2:28 pm Report this Post to the Staff
