Doubling???

MadMarty

What do you think??

I sent it in to PCGS as a mint error. The returned it (did not charge me), when I called I was told they just did not know what to make of it.
Here is what came up on the invoice.
1 21227266 NO # Refund - No Service

Date Received: 07/26/2002
Date Shipped: 08/09/2002

Any ideas??

I would suggest sending it to ANACS. From what I've read they are the best are grading errors coins.
What year was this coin? It appears to be a Lincoln. Sure looks like a double die to me, not a hub doubling.

It's a 2000-P Sac. There is also doubling on the faces. I might send it to ANACS when it get's back from PCGS. I can't beleave they did not have the BALLS to grade it. I thought that is what you pay extra for under the mint error catagory. I guess the graders are not as good as I thought they were. I really wanted this baby in a PCGS holder!!

Strike doubling.

From what I can see it is probably machine doubling. Not a true doubled die. Cool to view, but no monetary value to speak of. BOB

I would have to go with machine doubling, also. The secondary image looks flat. Of course, it's hard to tell from scan images, but that's the way it looks.

I can't believe you have the BALLS to complain, especially when you got your money refunded, after you had the BALLS to submit a coin under the error service when it's not even an error.

If PCGS attributes errors inhouse you would have just been out your money. They send the mint errors to Fred Weinberg who is one of the largest error dealers in the US who attributes them so you can thank him for getting your money back because he is a great guy.

BTW, it wouldn't be considered an error unless it was "double struck" which is not the same as doubling that results from a doubled die.

Now, if you submitted the coin as an error under the premise you believed it to be double struck, because you know the possibility of a 2000 coin being a doubled die variety is supposedly nil, then, my apologies for THINKING I was enlightening you.

Yes, I am aware of other mint errors, but in this case, I thought it would be limited to a double strike error versus a doubled die variety.
