Just Bob Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 Is that a circulation find? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWB Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 (edited) Not a doubled die - just a common coin in circulated condition. Value = 2-cents in metal. Here's the real (rare) thing from Stacks-Bowers Auctions: Edited September 30, 2020 by RWB Modwriter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly he is not being sarcastic, he would indeed submit a coin like the coin pictured by the op; he has the disease like another member on the forum ATS. I am in complete agreement with you that the op would be wasting money by submitting the coin shown, it is not a DDO and is worth $.50 at best.

I'm a trophy hunter and I like to have my trophies mounted. Reckless, yes, diseased, not. Perhaps an heir, generations from now will someday raise a glass of the finest whiskey and thank me. Hmmmm, methinks you may have gotten a little carried away with getting really average mundane coins graded. Grading is for the exceptional, not the ordinary.

RWB Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 The OP's cent is not a doubled die coin, and recommending he/she pay $$ to confirm that is both cruel and sardonic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWB Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 37 minutes ago, Modwriter said: How many 1958 cents will the OP find in their lifetime? RWB I am not mocking or being inhuman to anybody and how dare you accuse me of that. Karma is a person_without_enough_empathy and carries a big hammer. None---and the pictured coin is not one. Look at the auction photo and compare to the OP's photo. Your language convicts you, not my bringing it to the attention of the OP. Your suggestion to a new, inexperienced and impressionable collector was, and remains, cruel and sardonic -- and let's add "crass" to the adjectives. The OP will learn about coins and collecting from his experiences and from other collectors, but not by wanton indiscriminate wastefulness.

Conder101 Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 Modwriter, you may be a trophy hunter and don't mind paying to have pocket change slabbed, but you really shouldn't keep suggesting that newbies do it. When you do that it makes them think that they have something really special and they don't realize they are spending a LOT more money than the coin is worth.

JKK Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 13 hours ago, Modwriter said: OK guys. I will tone it down as should RWB with his ten year old playground insults. I can count on one hand who I consider numismatic senseis here and you are one of them Conder101. I want the OP to make up their own mind. Here's the thing. Maybe you, with your very specialized collecting style which I am not judging, would slab it. Your money, your call. But the new inquirer has no idea of your context, and therefore weights your recommendation as one [clearly established forum member who might possibly be an expert or at least seems like an Advanced Numismatist] vote in favor. They don't know you're doing a thing you're about the only person who would do. It is the responsible behavior to consider qualifying your response in such a case, showing consideration to the differing context of the new collector/finder. If you do not, you will do harm to the inquirer, the forum, and the hobby. It's not much to ask. Now, if it's one of the persons_whose_heads_bear_remarkable_resemblances_to_male_generative_organs who shows up here with an abused parking lot coin, insists that it's a rare mint error and a quintupled die, and yowls defiant dissent at several members who try patiently to inform him that it's a piece of junk worth face value, by all means tell them to send it in. After those exhibitions, they deserve to waste their money. But this OP has done nothing of the kind. Coinbuf 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If "Modwriter" really wanted the OP to "makeup his own mind" then he should have pointed the OP to available free resources, not told him/her to waste their money on futile submission. The posted photo of a real 1958 DD should have been sufficient for all but the most dedicated sociopath.

RWB Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 (edited) JKK - Correct. I quoted your post that included "Modwriter's" statement, and it came out as under JKK's name. Sorry for missing that.

Henri Charriere Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 And to think I thought the newbie -- who, incidentally, is a young lady -- would manage just fine without me. But then, I am but an infant. I'll wait patiently until I am a toddler to put my two cents in. The safest way to approach the DDO is to simply glance at it. The effect, some say most pronounced in LIBERTY, will leap right out at you. You will not have to look for it. But if you do, you probably do not have what you think you do.

Greenstang Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Melissa, please start a new thread for each coin. It gets confusing when there are more than 1 coin on a thread plus the fact that no one knows it is here unless they scroll down the to the end of the posting.
