NF String box produces a SWEET Lincoln Cent Double Die

[Historyhound]

Just finished up a box of pennies and found my first ever 1984 DDO#1. Not a bad looking coin for being in circulation for about 27 years. This box also produce 47 wheaties, the oldest being a 1919-S, and a 2000 Wide AM. And since I'm a treasure hunter, and not a collector, it will probably be listed on EBay sometime Saturday evening.

**UPDATE** Not a bad profit for something that cost me face value!

Where is the doubling? Maybe I need to start watching for these? What are they worth?

Nice score

There are 2 ear lobes. Uncirulated they run anywhere from $120 to $450+. Gonna start this one at $50 and see what happens.

Very nice coin!! And good eye spotting that! I sometimes pick out the 1983's for dbl die obv, 84 for dbl ear, 72 dbl die obv, 60 d/d, 92, 95 dbl die obv, 98, 99, 00... are there any more dates i should be looking at? dates I shouldn't waste my time on?

Apparently there are some 96, and there are hundreds of doubled reverses for 2009, but there are so many that they might not be worth anything. I pretty much just check them all. Check out doubleddie.com and coppercoins.com.

Nice to know that searching pennies for varieties can actually pay off, given the time it takes.

Sorry to hear that.. I don't know why you would think that it's someone here. Afterall there are a ton of different collectors out there but you never know.

Sounds like some dou#che bag buyer.. which there are a lot of out there. If you ever go onto PCGS forums, they always talk about the buyer from hell. They have an ongoing lists of people from whom to block on Ebay auctions.. They hate Feebay as well since Feebay gives all the power to the buyers. Buyers often will use negative feedback as leverage to get what they want because the buyer can never receive negative feedback which is stupid.. If I were you, I would inform Ebay of the issue, in case this guy tries to give you negative feedback. It's Ebay, you don't need to send an invoice to get paid. People can easily pay without an invoice. Tell Ebay that you tried to send the invoice to him twice and the no response. The buyer has not paid you and requests you send the item to him. DO NOT mail off to this guy unless you get paid. Also if you can ask if this guy no longer wants the item. If he doesn't want it, you can send him an agreement to cancel the auction.

If this guy turns out to be another Ebay horror story.. please give out his username here so that other people who have coins to sell can block him. I want to know so that I can block him. This is common practice on the PCGS forums.

I've also had a negative experience with dealing with some guy off of Ebay. We had done a transaction before via Paypal and it all worked out fine. I was selling him copper cents at the time and this time he agreed to send a check to save on the Paypal fees. When I told him that I would wait for the check to clear, he got all mad and told me he already sent the check and was demanding that I send the coins off immediately even before getting the check. He then went on to say that I insulted him and that I was rude because I wanted to wait for the check to clear first. He then said he works for the military and that he is a colonel and that he has dealt with many secret intelligence matters.. etc like he was some big shot and was seriously talking down to me. Off course when I googled him, I could not find him. He was the first and only guy to get upset over me waiting for a check to clear before sending the product which drew red flags. I told him that since he already mailed the check out that I would just sending it back to him. Of course I waited for it to arrive and yet it NEVER arrived. I told him in an email that I never got it and that I suspected that he never mailed it in the first place. It was all a lie. Of course, he tells me that he had his mailman retrieve it for him. Yeah right.

Oh his Ebay username is: Madicom

So if people are not comfortable with him being your buyer, block him. He's mostly a buyer so he doesn't get any negatives.

Becareful out there.

Good luck..let us what happens
