Is this a member here or a person that sells coins and doesn't know what a Double Dutch Die error is?
Now I thought ebay had rules on stating a fact and not having a 3rd party verify it.

Paul I thought Double Dies were suppose to have the double vison look, this coin looks like die weaking the poors mans version. I don't think any TPG would slab it as a Double DIE would they? thanks George
Doubled dies are varieties not errors.
I'm not sure if that one got listed on coppercoins but it's listed by Coneca:
die-2 on Coneca
check out the similar ones on coppercoins
Still fun to find them and ID them for learning but 2006 was such a crazy year that nobody seems to try getting all of them.
There's some big ones from 2006 that sell for a lot so while hunting those you might find some of those $7.50 ones.
Check out this one, they get big $:
This one's nice
the doubled earlobe
another nice one

Thanks Grumpy nice DD's.
On another note do you think it's right for the seller I mentioned to say that this is a ERROR and Variety in the same sense? Very misleading to the putts like myself that think all sellers should play fair on ebay.
It is a Dutch auction, not a Dutch error.
Atleast that seller wasn't trying to hawk some strike doubled coin as a DDO as they often try on ebay
<< <i>I stand corrected, I guess @$7.50 a pop it is not what you call a high valued varity? Thanks for the help guys. I have a few like this in earlier years and was told I have a poor mans verison. You learn something everyday. >>
Here's the thing: doubled dies on earlier coins are a result of more than one impression of a hub into a working die. The new varieties look a little different because those dies were produced in a single squeeze process. I'm still not sure I understand exactly how a die gets doubled when it only receives one impression from a hub, but one theory I've read is that if the hub begins the single squeeze out of alignment and then snaps into position you could get what appears to be doubling in the die.
Regardless of how they are created, the newer varieties still exhibit notching at the edges between the multiple impressions (look at the images on the auction you linked). What you don't really see any more are division lines. These newer varieties are not the same thing as strike doubling, which is caused by the die shearing the devices on a coin as it releases from being struck, and they are not the same thing as "poor man's doubling", which is caused by overpolishing or die erosion.
