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.

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..........
