As a combined birthday-Christmas present, I got a high-end microscope. The first box of cents I looked through with it had so many amazing doubled dies. Some of these are minor but really interesting, and I probably would have missed them without the new scope. This is going to be a long post since I will be showing 11 great finds. I'm going to start with the best one.

Also, I took these pics in a hurry, they're not as good as they could be. The 2005 cent at the end I took pics of last night, so they are a bit better.

Also, also, there was an impaired proof in this box (1995-S). Didn't take pics before I put it away.

1982 WDDO-004?:
Doubling on this coin isn't as strong as WDDO-004, but it is similar. It is a Large Date Zinc and there is extra thickness when compared to other large date 1982s.

2005 ? ? ? ?:
I sent John Wexler pictures of this coin for possible inclusion in the new UFO section. What do you think it is? Seems to be something more than just gouges.

Congratulations Tanman2001, you snagged some nice ones there.

What make/model scope did you get? It takes some really nice pics.

Looks like your on a roll (Pun intended). Nice finds. I'm having pretty good luck with this box I got a couple days before Christmas. Maybe the bank pulls them from the back of the vault at Christmas.

I never liked having my B-Day (the 19th) so close to Christmas because I almost always got a combo gift, instead of one for each event
Did you get the scope from someone or did you buy it yourself? What brand and model? Nice pics.

Rest in Peace

My parents bought me this one:

Then I bought myself an IKEA Jansjö lamp and wrapped tissue paper around it to diffuse it. Then I used a rubber band to hold it in place.

Nice images, I need a new scope, but that one is a bit out of my current price range.
