Ok so I was wondering, what is more important to send in IF you had anything YOU thought was worth having graded? A ddo/ddr? Markings on coins? I'm pretty sure I have a 1983 it says it weighs 3.11 so wouldn't that be copper? I'm just asking for your thoughts on what you guys would send in and to whom? I have heard bad things about ANACS...…. Thanks

this picture isn't the coin of course but is this MD or no? this is on the LIBERTY and on DATE 1989 penny, turned it every which way and it is there..

One, if I am not mistaken Couch Collectibles is a guy making and posting videos on youtube.  General rule 95+% of the coin videos posted on youtube are junk, often filled with incorrect or misleading "information".

Two, the major 1969 S DDO is a VERY valuable coin.  The reason you may see them selling very cheap on ebay is because they are NOT the 1969 S DDO.  This is true of a LOT of the rare errors being sold on ebay.  Most of them are being sold by someone who knows little or nothing about coins but is SURE they have lucked into a super rarity.  Let's put it this way, I am on three different coin forums and have been for almost 20 years.  In that time I would say that there are at least 10 claims per week from someone sure they have a 69 S DDO.  In all that time one, count him, ONE person has actually had one.  That is one out of 10,000 claims.

Well I have learned something I AM SO GLAD I posted this, I guess I just assumed that all people know about coins that they have on ebay, BUT it all makes sense that they may be new like me, but one thing I will do is contact someone on here before I EVER send something in to be graded so that I don't look like A FOOL doing so LOL Thanks as always for ALL YOUR REPLIES and helping me understand what is REALLY going on!!! THANKS

well I thought FOR SURE that these people would know if it was real or not...… as for me I would DEFINITELY have to ask people before I would know bc I have thought several times I had found something to only turn out... NOT!! ok well @kbbpll that makes more sense and NOW I'm not so discouraged I am new at this business... THANKS GUYS FOR ALWAYS HELPING ME!!!!!

Do you have a link to an example that has the huge price discrepancy that you described in your post?

No but I thought a 1969s dd penny was something worth looking for but when I looked on eBay, well not so much!! I guess I will stick to looking for the 1982 penny and such 

sell your coins IF you thought you ever had anything of value? Would you have it graded first? I am just curious, I see things on ebay that I thought may have been valuable and then go look on there and coins are selling for pennies......

I don't understand how in the world would you know if you ever had anything worth anything with ebay content saying otherwise...

Don't get it!!! The Couch Collectibles etc says this sold for $10,000 and then almost same coin for $20 dollars on ebay LOL just don't know anymore

Thanks I know you guys know what you're talking about though so any comments???

ell me what this is? I see it so much on my coins.....

THANK YOU~~~~

I'M new so it IS a MD type doubling??

Think of George's nose as the coastline of his face, which is a continent. The background field is the ocean. What you see here is continental shelf, lower than the shoreline. That is MD or DDD. True die doubling creates more land, like that stuff that happened on the Big Island a while back. In truth, it extends as far up from the fields as the intended lettering or devices do. It needs to be a twin, not a lesser piece of metal.

Thank you Mister VK I'll hopefully get this someday, been trying to learn for a year now, I really enjoy it tho, actually I've learned a lot since I first started. LOL Just haven't been able to capture/learn this DD stuff yet. THANK YOU THO for all the help.

Sorry, MD.

Dang it!!!! But this isn't a shadow it's an actual line, so I may never get this......LOL

Mr. Greenstang How can you tell the difference? I don't understand...

I watched the video and thought I had understood, GUESS NOT!!!

AS ALWAYS, Thank you for helping me. I love looking and finding what I do anyway, so much excitement and I am trying to take some coins to the bank to return but I will keep others for my 10 y/o

I found this 1990 Quarter and I SWEAR this is a true DD on his nose and goes over his head, it's so cool.

I am sending 10 coins into grading company soon bc I have 1964 RED penny and a 1968 too

I LOVE THIS STUFF LOL

Read this article by David Lange. It will help you see the difference between hub doubling, which is  often referred to as a doubled die, and the more common and generally worthless mechanical doubling.

THANKS Just Bob I just read this article, so it is Definitely a true doubling that which is NO DENYING the doubling, so all this other I find is just machine doubling. and I need to look for a SPLIT in the lettering also. THANKS so much now I know then.

Is this doubling on the "T"'s and it's not like this on any other letter.

Thanks

WOW!!!!!

I guess then that's all I find I wish I could tell better on the DD Will you also look at the other post I made and tell me about that.

Greenstang please

Hello can anyone tell me if this is a dd on the ear, I never can tell much about the dd's and I am new at this BUT trying to learn, I find all kinds of coins just wish I knew what to send in IF anything at all for that matter.

I LOVE doing this I need help though and don't have a coin dealer near by and the coin shows don't come to Arkansas either.

THANKS to you guys for being so nice and helping!!!

Hey this coin isn't in good shape but I think I have a double die on the date? 

Can you tell me what you think and what would you do with it? IF ANYTHING LOL

Thank you

anybody? The pic below is an really nice 1993 nickel, do you or can you tell if they would be considered full steps? Again thanks for your help.

Hello I am new but was looking through coins and seen this, do you think this is normal?

Thank you for any insight

Thanks!! Much appreciated.

I am new here and seen this on the 1921 Morgan and its only on certain letters not all.... OK it also doesn't have a mint mark so I'm assuming that it's Philadelphia can someone please help me? If it is a DD would you snd it in? Just curious..... Thanks in advance for your imput too.
