CaptainFwiffo Pillar of the Community United States 4132 Posts	Posted 09/02/2011 12:05 pm I was about to report this, but I wanted to verify what I'm seeing before I jump on the guy (it's also an easy mistake to make honestly.) This item is listed as a 1942/1-D overdate, but it looks like ordinary Strike Doubling to me. Am I right? Edited by CaptainFwiffo 09/02/2011 12:50 pm Report this Post to the Staff

DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 09/02/2011 1:04 pm That's Strike Doubling. The seller seems so sure of its "rarity", but didn't bother to take 5 minutes to Google/research? Then again, a lot of people don't understand that die varieties are exactly the same on every coin--taking die life into account. Just in case anyone finds this thread by doing their homework, here are some examples of MD and a pic of the real 1942/1-D. ebay coin: Another example of MD: The genuine 1942/1-D (photo credit: PCGS) Report this Post to the Staff

merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 09/02/2011 9:09 pm The coin pictured in the auction is NOT the 42/1 overdate. That's probably why it was no bids. Les Report this Post to the Staff

merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 09/06/2011 7:37 pm Apparently this turkey selling this coin doesn't care that his listing is wrong, and ebay hasn't removed it. With just over an hour to go the high bid is just over $40... certainly not an overdate price, but still way too much for this common coin showing Strike Doubling. Les Report this Post to the Staff
