My 55 Lincoln DD?

Bought this on ebay. Got it and was wondering if real DD and if so does it carry a premium? Your thoughts are appreciated. Pics taken at 10x / 60x / 200x with my new Digital Blue USB Microscope.

    That is the 'Poor man's doubled die' and I do not think they carry too much of a premium.
    Great transaction with: Relaxn, Collectorcoins, OKCC
  • yea, about 50 cents

    Yep...Poor Man's DD.....maybe a buck or so...maybe a couple of bucks on ebay.

    I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

    No premium. I still find those in rolls and even my change every now and then.

    As far as I can remember about $20.

    Good lesson learned for $20 image

    Rob,

    You will know when you have the "real" DDO, because you will not need 10X, 60X, or 200X to see it. image It is one that can be seen a mile away (so to speak).

    Poor man's DD... too bad.. the real one is radical... Cheers, RickO

    Thanks again,

    Yep, I wish the real good one. But the picture was sorta bad when I bought it and I figured I could lose $20 and not go to the poor house. "Poor mans 55D" suits me fine, I am poor image
