    Ebay sellers are funny,

    for instance...


    This seller has a DDO for sale but does not show the side that is actually doubled...


    This seller has a 1941 LWC that died [twice??] or maybe he meant dyed twice and,


    This seller has created a new transition variety for the year 1941 -- Then lets you know it is a "scare variety"

    thanks T! Too funny! Hey that 41P Die 2 that the seller doesn't show the obverse of would be a steal at $75. And the new transitional die really cracks me up! At least the one that died twice has OBV/REV full coin shots!

      Who is stealing from whom? Don't forget shipping.

        Thanks for the chuckle T.
        Seller one, if you scroll down to item description, says "Doubling of the letters which is a DDO air as well as the P on his four head".
        We can at least rest assured that we can't be fooled by him manipulating his feedback. 1 month-0, 6months-0, 12 months-0.

          If we look at the spelling across all three sellers it may very well be one of two possibilities - 1) They ar al relate 2) thy r th sam perso

              Couldn't find it in my 65th Edition Redbook. Isn't the word transitional used improperly in the seller's listing? I've never heard of a different mint mark style being called a Transitional cent.

                Better check again...I'm using the 65th edition too.....as for the word "transitional", that is a bit of hype, but not really inaccurate...it can be used anytime there is a change....1941 was known for the large and small S...read page 20.

                  Thank you Roger, found it on Pg 20 of the Red Book! I thought the term transitional only applied to dies that were intended to be used for another year. So in the case of the 1941 the way it is worded in the Red Book sounds like an intentional change. Sorry to be so picky with the terminology, just trying to understand

                    Nothing wrong with learning,Viv. But this is a good example of something Bob is passionate about....let's make sure we don't bash sellers without doing our homework.....the seller's ratings and amount of sales were enough to warrant further investigation by any of us......questioning is fine, but let's be careful in the future...and keep in mind it could even be a fellow member

                      Thank you again Roger! I forgot about the threads where Bob was cautioning us about this, and you are both totally right to say that! We should all be more mindful of this in the future. I'm just as guilty of having a good laugh before thinking things through, sorry...
