I know this sounds SO simple, but it isn't all that obvious, especially to the new coin collector. I think us newbies think double dies are hard to see and subtle. However, if you read how a die is made above and think about the process, then the term "double die" really makes sense and will be quite obvious when you find one! What we are all searching for is literally, a double image. Same height, same shape, same everything because the doubled device is identical to the original device based on the process of putting the devices on the working die. I have only been collecting for almost 6 months now and have been on this forum for five of those months. Real double dies are rare! Which is why they are valuable!

I guess this post is more for my own coin collecting sanity. After months of trying to figure all of this out, this all finally clicked a bit. I thought maybe my thoughts here could possibly help out a fellow newbie. :)
