    I’m going to jump in on this although I was just going to leave it. What you have is common Machine Doubling, not a Doubled Die. Suggest you study on what a true DD looks like. You have been told by some very knowledgeable people it is Machine Doubling. If you still insist you are correct, suggest you send just one off to be graded and find out for yourself. This way you won’t be wasting too much money.

    Welcome to the Forum Without clear a photo of the whole coin and a closeup of the doubling, no one will be able to help you.
  3. Greenstang
    Agree with Woods020 That story the seller is telling you both is fictitious and impossible to happen.
  4. Greenstang
    Duplicate post

    Your correct, it is just damage. Looks like some sort of stain. Possibly spent time in a coffee cup holder.
  6. Greenstang
    Correct, it is damage, not an error. There is no premium for a damaged coin.
  7. Greenstang
    Hafta say that I don’t quite agree with the sellers description.
  8. Greenstang
    It would help if you supplied a complete photo of each side along with a closeup but I have to agree, just a badly damaged coin worth 25 cents if you can get someone to take it. Nothing there that could happen during the striking of the coin.
  9. Greenstang
    See this quite often, as stated, it is just heat damage.

    As long as they are not misrepresenting the coin and asking over $2500.00 for a raw coin, a seller can ask what he wants. There has to be a certain amount of responsibility on the buyer to do his homework and know what he is bidding on. At least eBay has some restrictions, right now on Etsy, there are three with a asking price over $50,000 each.

    It is known as a magicians coin where two different coins are combined to make one. Impossible for it to be an error.

    Look at the bottom of the main page. It says PMG and is coloured green. Just click on that.
  13. Greenstang
    Hard to really tell without a picture but there are many coloured coins on the market that have been altered after they left the mint. Pad printing is a popular method of colouring them.

    You might get some results if you went on the NGC paper money forum instead of the coin forum. pmgnotes.com

    Looks like someone has made a resin casting from a half dollar, that’s why everything is in reverse and contuse. Not a coin or a trial piece.
  16. Greenstang
    It’s worth 25 cents so not worth grading.
  17. Greenstang
    Don’t know why this is in the Registry Forum but as far as your coin is concerned, I agree it is corroded, possibly has had Ann acid bath. It is considered PMD.
  18. Greenstang
    You can’t have a coin that is struck in collar out of round. It has to be PMD. Looks like it has been filed down for some reason.
  19. Greenstang
    Not sure exactly what you are referring to. If that is the actual colour, then I would say it is plated gold. If you are referring to something else, then specify.
  20. Greenstang
    I agree, just heat damage. Have been seeing quite a few of these lately on different forums.
  21. Greenstang
    There are no layers, it is a copper cent.
  22. Greenstang
    Even though the photos are a little out of focus, it looks like an acid etched coin to me. The rims are usually the first to go and that appears the to be the case here. Also it should be slightly smaller in diameter. Place it over a regular cent and see the difference.
  23. Greenstang
    Possibly been retooled. Let’s see what others have to say.
  24. Greenstang
    Not even close plus there was not one produced in 1804 Do you have the eBay 12 digit ID number?
  25. Greenstang
    Sorry but your coin is not exactly the same. Maybe same type of damage. Compare a side by side of the quarters and they are vastly different. There is no way you can have a formed rim on one side and not the other without it being damaged.
