    avoid this

    Just looking through this seller's list of coins. Nearly ALL of them are incorrectly labeled as doubled dies or RPMs and aren't. Unfortunately, the seller has already sold a lot of them, and got positive feedback anyway. What a mess our hobby is in. The blind leading the blind.

    I could not see any DD on that 72... Maybe if the pics were better I did not check any of the others... I will take your word on it that they are not as advertised!!!

    Another example of how ridiculous it is the way ebay links to the PCGS coin descriptions. It would be fine if it did it based on the coin numbers on the slabs FOR PCGS SLABBED COINS. Instead they do it for non slabbed coins. So like on this listing it puts the PCGS name and their description of DDO Die-1 which looks like a professional attribution to a clueless buyer for a coin that is not that coin and adds credibility to a listing. Very helpful GRRRRR!

    Exactly, most of this seller's auctions would make people think they are actually bidding on a slabbed coin.
