igwt79 Pillar of the Community United States 1175 Posts	Posted 05/19/2023 10:00 am Hello! I found this in pocket change and have not altered this coin in any way... frankly I wouldn't know how... does anyone believe this is an altered / replica / counterfeit coin? Did I make a mistake believing it is simply Machine Doubling on this coin and not altered or counterfeit? I listed this coin on ebay with the description slightly off-center with Machine Doubling on date and post mint damage on reverse... it had 39 views, 4 watchers, and 2 bids (highest was $2.25). Then 6 hours before ending date of auction, ebay cancelled the listing and sent me an email stating: "We had to remove your listing because it didn't follow our Replica coins and currency policy: (https://www.ebay.com/help/policies/...d=HELP1542)" ebay asked me if it was authenticated. I told them no, why would I pay to get a coin authenticated that is of little value (I didn't expect to make much, just trying my hand out at selling in case I find something good). I took a look at a post on this forum and my coin appears to fit the critera: http://goccf.com/t/320844. Before listing, I also found several examples of these types of coins selling on ebay, therefore, I saw no problem listing it as described. Here is an example of one such sold listing: https://www.ebay.com/itm/175499145457 I am new to coin collecting and this forum. I am trying to learn and find this forum has multiple valuable resources for performing my own research such as links I have found in other's posts to vv and wexlers, etc... I am grateful for you all, and value your feedback and expertise. Thank you for looking and/or commenting! Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 64167 Posts	Posted 05/19/2023 10:20 am Yes, this is some extreme MD on the date, as for the 'off center' I noticed that the reverse is centered - which makes this a MAD strike for the obverse. (MAD = Mis-Aligned Die) On some of the other devices, I see lots of circulation flattening. and some minor MD. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.

-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 6369 Posts	Posted 05/19/2023 1:42 pm Very cool MD and as John1 said, a "doubled master die". Here was another recent thread on it. Yours is in much better shape and shows it better. LINK http://goccf.com/t/445724 -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff
