USMCLion Valued Member United States 188 Posts	Posted 12/13/2010 7:05 pm Snazzypitt, yes these are pics from the coin on ebay. I was pretty tempted to bid, I like the way the VDB looked. When the seller described it as hub doubling I held off and I'm glad I did. In the end someone paid $110+ dollars for a nice example of Machine Doubling. Thanks Chuck, you learn something new everyday!! Report this Post to the Staff
coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 12/13/2010 7:07 pm Man, I need money just like all these saps on ebay...but I can't bring myself to sell pocket change for $110. Is there something wrong with me, or is it just them? I wonder sometimes. Report this Post to the Staff
USMCLion Valued Member United States 188 Posts	Posted 12/13/2010 7:12 pm No nothing wrong with you, its called morals. I've looked at my bucket of extreme machine doubled cents a few times when I've needed some extra cash but I can't bring myself to it. Report this Post to the Staff
Jaymon74 Pillar of the Community United States 844 Posts	Posted 12/14/2010 01:53 am OK, I get the concept of Machine Doubling. No one bothered to ask though. If it's relatively common, yet very little of the common public know of this phenom, what is it worth? Is it something to let go, or hold onto? Report this Post to the Staff

coppertop5150 Pillar of the Community United States 958 Posts	Posted 12/14/2010 07:45 am unless the Machine Doubling is really eazy to see with the naked eye then its not worth saving. If you look on ebay some of the really big machine doubles and double strikes do have bids on them so someone somewhere must be collecting them Report this Post to the Staff
coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 12/14/2010 08:07 am Actually Machine Doubling happens frequently and isn't worth anything extra. In fact, if a coin has Machine Doubling I am less likely to buy it. Report this Post to the Staff
Jaymon74 Pillar of the Community United States 844 Posts	Posted 12/15/2010 01:28 am Well that is very good to know. At least I know I won't get taken on that one then. I'm guessing whoever bought the one on E-Bay for 110+ will find out the hard way to do research before spending that kind of money. Either that or he has more money than he knows what to do with. In that case. Good for him. Report this Post to the Staff
