I hope I don't gey busted for saying this but I think the last few comments were rather harsh. I know some folks here are frustrated but I don't think what was written was helpful.
Amac44 may I make a few suggestions? First keep these coins you have posted and the pics and use them for future reference for what is NOT a doubled die. Also there is a very good book out there Official Price Guide to Mint Errors 7th Edition by Alan Herbert. It describes the minting process from step one. The listed errors with pics describe how the errors could have occured while they were in the process of being made. Get the book and study it. I think it will help indentify many of the coins you have found. Also try to get your hands on a true double die. Study it and compare it to your findings.
I've been on this forum a while and I'm still working on learning about doubled varieties and doubled dies and other stuff. Don't get frustrated and give up. I have gotten frustrated but I am still working on it. It's not easy.
Also I am nowhere near an expert but some of the pics posted are obvious Machine Doubling even to me. Especially the quarter with the 7 and LIBERTY.
For the experts, the pic posted with GOD, is that what is can referred to as an overflow?
