Noting that DDO-002 was partially hubbed with the broken R hub has led far too many people to assume that finding a coin bearing a broken R to assume it was a DDO - even in cases where NOTHING IS DOUBLED - Duh!
just found it a seal 10lb bag (http://cgi.ebay.com/1936-Wheat-cent-WDDO-002-nice-EF-coin-/160561844421?pt=Coins_US_Individual&hash=item25623b50c5)

That is unfortunate. It was also unfortunate that I had found several 1936 with a partially broken R hub and no doubled die to go with it. I didn't think to save them and sell them. oh well.
Also, the thing that got me more with this auction was the EF+++ grade given it. maybe it is, but thats not a coin i would add to my EF collection.

Great balls of fire man! A large S over a small s - on a 1935! Wow; got to dig those probable corrosion spots on the reverse too.

If he is using their site to make money Chuck and Bob can force him to stop since what he is selling is not legit... Copyright!!!!!!

I have no idea what he was trying to do by putting coppercoins in the ad. I don't see it there any more. He uses John Wexler's number though. Maybe he's eating too much at the jellomart?

I sent him this:
Where's the doubling?
What you've got is a coin struck from a die which has a "broken R", this is not a doubled die. On the actual DDO #2, you'll see strong separation and doubling. Just trying to help. Best wishes, -Chris.
And he wrote back with this:
I have add new photo 3/31
I hope that helps
thank you

This is why you never pay anything for a coin you cannot see or do not know the seller! Troubling..........
