I don't think this is possible??
I don't think this is possible?? The bitterness of "Poor Quality" is remembered long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.

That makes 4 fools so far. The three bidders plus the clown who is offering it and doesn't think that $81 is enough enough for something that MIGHT BE an ERROR NOT!!!)

If they are coin dealers, more likely head lice.

This would finally complete my two headed type set. The Dansco 0707.

More likely lice, as it seems parasites are involved.

I guess some sellers just don't care if they get negative feed back. That is, if the buyer ever figures out this coin is not real!

Just for fun , what if that 1926 was struck through a totaly grease filled reverse die ,
the coin fell into the bin and was wedged under a flange in the corner . Then , ten years
later it was jarred loose , and fed into the 1936 dies , and happened to be struck on the
reverse with the obverse die , but the obverse was totally grease filled , thus preserving
the 1926 date . With this scenario , this coin should be in the Smithsonian , or at
least in my collection .
Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......

That is because it was always face down.

Perhaps you need to be less honest. It apparently seems to work for so many sellers!

Should this rare coin be in the Red Book?
<< <i>Should this rare coin be in the Red Book? >>
Obviously not. But there are many coins in the Red Book that should never have been added, and even more that should have been. Your problem is that adding more will open the floodgates. The VAM Web site shows how most variations are minor mint irregularities, of interest only to a narrow band of collectors, and little or no added "value." My advice is to leave that stuff to the Professional Edition, the Cherrypickers' Guide, or to the many books written for specialists.
Edited to add: one example of a variety that should never have been in the Red Book is the "1922 Plain" Cent. That is a filled die, and nothing more.

Can you please give me this info?
A: It is not our policy to give out other busisnesses information.
We suggest you contact your coin dealers and numismatic experts you know. You would value their input rather than dealers you don't know.
We are representing this piece as we see it and try to explain to those that might be interested in it, this could be real or it could not be real.
Most experts of coins and their history will tell you it's possible to have a two headed piece but most unlikely.
We at HLC are saying to those that view this auction, we have our beleif about it, but we do not represent it to be authentic. We just don't know.
If you are wanting to bid on this piece strickly for potential value, or authenticity of the item, you might want to not to bid at this auction.
We have had offers of hundreds of dollars for this item, but choose to give our friends and fellow winners on our ebay auctions a second chance to look at it and own it.
It's just the right thing for us to do. The worse thing that can happen to a winning bid, they get the piece and they are dissapointed in the item or us.
A lot of treasure hunters look for auctions to find that one great reward. 99.9% of the time they are dissapointed but they never give up on the next venture.
We are kind of like that here at HLC. We get many estate items, some have great value and prosper the work we do, but there are those items that are great to have for bragging rights. This might be one of those items.
This item was truly locked up in a safe for years. Why, we don't know, we found it and our mission is to raise money for our ministry.
We have over 320 positive feedbacks now, and all those winners of our auction have been happy with the items we've sent to them.
To us, that means a lot. Our winners are not unhappy we us. We tried to represent the items very fairly and open to the information we have.
You have to decide for yourself on bidding or not.
Thank you for your email.

And 4 negatives this year, which in my book is a lot, even if 3 of them are from the same buyer.
<< <i>Somewhere out there a double-tailed Buffalo nickel is looking for its mate. Imagine the value of a collection that included both coins. . . . at least $1,000,000, "for bragging rights."
>>
Actually the reverse of these coins probably ended up on the floor of the milling shop where the reverse of both coins was removed so the two obverse halfs could be glued together.
