I'm [practicing] using brackets, which you could [probably] tell.
You are doing good with the brackets. Like me with the little arrow thingy on the pictures. Love that function. I found (all pennies) that some cracks in the 58 obverse and on the 55 a few cracks and some lamination problems the last couple of days. I had like 8 54 S's and found like 5 or 6 MM errors. Like are 50% of the 54 S's damaged? Coppercoins shows around 15 variations. I am trying to remember which coin like a 57 or 58 had around 25 MM errors and out of 50+ coins I didn't find one. :l Wouldn't you know it. Unfortunately the mm errors are very small. I would like to find one with a very dramatic error. I have found several very nice doubling specimens though. I am sure everyone is tried of doubling pics but these are pretty dramatic so I may post a couple of pics of more doubling. I have looked at so many coins here lately that my eyes are hugeeyes out! :l Actually with so many errors found in the wheaties that I use the scope for each coin.

Hmmm, brackets eh. I always use parentheses. Maybe I best start trying those brackets. But man habits are hard to break.... ()

Maineman750 wrote:69 thru 72 are notorius for strike doubling, and a big indicator is doubling on the mint mark. The mint mark was added by hand until 1990 so it should not be doubled on a true doubled die coin. You could possibly have an RPM on a doubled die, but they should be doubled in different directions if that combo happened.
Hi Roger, you are so right. I am finding that the hard stamped coins [I guess what I am calling hard stamped are the coins that have very distinct and very strong, thick letters] or maybe the little alloy is a little softer causes lots of doubling. Thanks for the info.
