    Appears to be a legit seller with a bad attribution. Happens all the time with Morgan vams. We
    usually send them a very polite message with a link to what the variety really looks like.

    Most likely another strike doubled example being misattributed. I just sent him a question with a link to one of the real PCGS certified examples in the Heritage archives, I'll let you know if I get a reply.

    Incomplete planchets wanted, especially Lincoln Cents & type coins.

    Keyword spam. The coin he's selling is not a PCGS certified coin.

    Not to mention blatant keyword spamming.

    Heard back from the seller:



    << <i>Hi, thank you for your honesty. I had no idea, there were so many different types. As you can see I'm new at this. I did revise the auction. If you would please review it, and let me know if the discription is correct. It's not my intention to defraud anyone. Thanks. >>



    I haven't gone back to the listing yet, but the seller sounds honest enough - a little underinformed, maybe, but honest.

    Looks like the seller did the right thing. He refers to it in his auction as "machine doubling" now, and has removed any references to the PCGS price guide for a 1969-S DDO.

    I bid .05, just to get the ball rolling for him. Seems like a nice enough guy.
    If you haven't noticed, I'm single and miserable and I've got four albums of bitching about it that I would offer as proof.
