    I guess that's a creative way to get around being banned. Not many have that problem. They gave you a chance to behave. I hope you don't mess that up.

    ldhair reacted to Sandon in 1958 doubled die obverse...?   
    Welcome to the NGC chat board.
        No, you do not have an example of the extremely rare 1958 doubled die cent, which features crisp, clear doubling on "LIBERTY" and the motto and looks like this (NGC VarietyPlus photos):
      
      A doubled die coin (a die variety) results from doubling in the die itself, so every coin struck from the die will feature the same doubling. Very few of the 1958 doubled die cent have ever been found, and none for decades, and it is likely that very few left the mint. Based on the photos you posted, I do not see doubling of any type on your coin, but be aware that many coins exhibit doubling caused by loose or worn dies, which coins have no collector value. See, for example, Double Dies vs. Machine Doubling | NGC (ngccoin.com). 
      Your coin was struck on a clipped planchet, a relatively minor mint error that generically is valued at $3 on a 95% copper alloy Lincoln cent in the 2023 A Guide Book of United States Coins, popularly known as the "Red Book" (p.443).

    There is NO DUES PAYABLE to be a posting member here. NONE AT ALL! The only thing that requires dues is having a membership for submitting coins. You really do need to get this straight.

    Sorry but the cost of grading is much more than the value of the coin. The images are good enough to decide on that.

    ldhair reacted to RWB in Saudi Arabia 4-sovereign gold disc.   
    Recently acquired this research piece to go with the 1-sovereign version. In the current draft die list, this one is --
    Variety 1. Diagonal Lines in “D”
    The letter “D” in Philadelphia has four prominent diagonal lines in the letter’s center. Several of these appear to be extension of lines outside of the letter. The textured field is the highest part of a working die, so the lines did not extend into the tops of letters. This variety represents about 30% of pieces offered by Stacks-Bowers and Heritage over the past 20 years.

    Blanks for the four sovereign pieces were prepared in the New York Assay Office. These were shipped in two batches: 30,300 on May 24, 1945 and 60,780 on October 2, 1945.
    Here's a detail of the D in Philadelphia with arrows indicating some of the diagnostic points.

    This piece was graded "AU," however, it has well defined obverse detail and minimal contact damage to the reverse lettering. This combination is uncommon on these discs. This variety is also known from a cracked die (reverse, left of cartouche).

    All of you on this forum are so knowledgeable! I could never hope to achieve your level. And most of all, you are the most patient group I’ve ever seen. Some of the questions are so out there, yet your responses are astute and kind. My thanks to all of you who respect the people that are not so gifted with numismatic knowledge , just wanted to let you know that I read all the posts and appreciate your great responses!

    ldhair reacted to Greenstang in Should I get this 1955 ddo graded just not sure if it is think I barley see it on the 1955 but not sure. Getting all my rare an error coins graded an sold at auctions in the next couple months so want to make sure before I waste a lot of money lol   
    Suggest you study on what an actual error is, so far every one of your listings have been damage or not worth the cost of grading  . Any Auction company would not accept any of the coins you have shown for auction.
    Here is an example of the valuable 1955 DDO
