Strike doubling. No added value.
Not a doubled die.
Damaged.
Cutting a coin in half won't give you two valuable coins.
Nasty coin and a waste of time.
The title says 1943 S but the coin shown is a 1943 D.
NOT a doubled die.
I don't think that's the biggest problem
From today's Coin World: A group of die variety experts have identified a new wartime overdate U.S. coin: a 1943/1942-S Lincoln cent.

It’s only a matter of time before a lot more of these start popping up when they’re only parking lot coins based on the recent trend.

But in Scrabble, double the value of an S and you have the value of a D, so there's the doubling...
The OP coin is not a doubled die.... That overdate is very interesting.... This is the second discussion on that coin and it sure looks as if could be real. Cheers, RickO
It was on the forum last week as our very own @CaptHenway was involved.
Looks like I paid $5 to learn about strike doubling. Thanks for the input from everyone. Sorry for the S typo, clearly a D 😅
I wouldn't want it for free, throw it away before we see it again posted by the next newbie who gets it lol
This thread gets the Irony 2022 Award.
Why would you spend $5 on a severely damaged coin?
Because he thought it was a discovery coin for a previously unknown DDO.
So you turn around and list it on eBay as a DDO after you’ve been informed that it’s only strike doubling. Class act👌

I don’t think the advice he received about this coin really doesn’t matter….

@Doubledieanotherday
Why are you selling this as a unique doubled die? The feedback you received says it clearly isn't. Deceiving potential buyers is something that is considered serious by many members here and I would recommend you cancel the listing.
Just plain bad.

Kennedys are my quest...
That is disgusting.
Agree a thousand-fold.
I certainly hope he doesn’t request any more help with ANYTHING in this forum. I think he’ll be in for a rude awakening if he so chooses.
Yes posting was deleted after knowledge was obtained. Was sold to me as a ddo. Sorry to everyone who got upset
Thought I was worth a $5 gamble. Sucks I didn’t have you there coach
Just a bit of advice for you. We (and you) learn things on these boards by leaving the information up for others to read long after we are done with the issue at-hand. If we all deleted everything once we got the information we wanted then the site would not nearly be as valuable to everyone else. In the future, leave your posts up so others can learn.

I think it's more about his getting caught trying to sell the problem.
If knowledge was gained 2 days ago, why did he wait til today to remove the listing? I think we all know the answer to that. The listing was removed promptly after it was noticed and posted in this thread.
The OP has made his profile private.
It's a rather unfortunate turn of events. He should turn his ebay profile private also. His feedback is revealing.
It might be best to just close the account and get a fresh start.
Hopefully they are learning from their mistakes and won't make the same ones again.
It doesn't seem that way based on his feedback and this latest episode.
Get off the computer find a life
Yeah, I'M the problem.
I'm not the one who discovered your listing. I'm not the only one who expressed concern about what you were doing.
It would have been much better if you had simply owned up to your "mistake" and moved on.
I deleted the listing. Admitted my wrong. And learned from other users. No one bought the coin or even had the chance to. No one got ripped off but me. I didn’t check the forum or eBay for days. Lesson learned
Just so we who read this after the info was removed here is the coin in question.

We appreciate your ending the listing. I appreciate your taking ownership. But you responded at 1:53 pm on 5/31 about the strike doubling and the listing wasn't ended until after the listing was broadcast here. The connection between those events may not be as direct as it seems, but you can understand why we are connecting the two.
Here is one that sold looks very similar
Strike doubling is very common. What is nearly impossible is a DDO with a DDR and a D/D.
Selling on ebay in no way makes it legit. Shame about the damage as it makes the value, regardless of strike, very little.

I hope you reported it to the moderators.
Somehow I’m the dipshit, even though he’s the ……. who got caught and exposed for what he is. And besides, it takes a real man to hurl insults at a woman. But then again, there’s no proving you’re a real man in the first place. So you can keep throwing insults at me. Ok little boy? LOL
Hi JBK. I don’t know how to do that.
Ok, I figured it out and did so.
You might want to censor your own post above to remove your profanity so you don't get pulled down with him.
I guess he’s showing his true character.
Perhaps, but there's no real upside to arguing with him and continuing to post his DM to you.
