Have your check the links on CoopHome? There are questions answered there that you may not has thought of yet. It attaches to the site and has thousands of image, explanations on the the questions. This is what I help the unanswered get responded to before they are asked. Knowing what to look for will help you find them a lot faster. There are 9 pages of links to threads of information I've added to or created myself. So then the blue CoopHome, click on that and start reading. simple basic information. Click on and your there. |

I guess if I'm going to get into errors especially Doubled dies(even more so with Canadian coins seeing as American coins are 1/100 over here) that anything good I will post will be after I get my gear. This coin I wish I could post better pics, I can see what I can do but can you specify an angle? I post to much and 1000 posts milestone I feel deserves something lol. Mayb I could do a bigger contest at 2000. I know okiecoiners gear and book will help me a fair bit and @coop I read every link you send lol. Some of the links aren't about anything I see or will see because if years and USA coinage compared to Canadian for errors seems very different. Even a die chip on a Canadian coin is semi rare in my experience. Iv looked at 10's of thousands of Canadian coins and iv seen very few DDD or other Die Deterioration errors compared to USA coinage, die chips and cracks seem much much more common on American coins( mayb 1/10 lol). Even the way these Die Deterioration errors look on are coins is different. On a side note I'd be happy to find a cracked skull Lincoln but happier with a lamination error:p. But back to my main point I just feel like I'm not learning quick enough an need to focus in research over asking you guys for answers. I feel my posts are semi ignored because of my lack of knowledge/ignorance in past posts. I'd rather not be a burden to all of you really knowledgeable folk and I just keep posting what seems like nothing. So a gear upgrade and a break to study and collect just seems more reasonable then spending time posting things on here. I've spend at least 500 hours just making posts and probably another 500 reading info to learn(probably more) which compared to many here is nothing but I don't like feeling like I'm just making worthless posts. |

A friend gave this years ago:   But on these thread, there are also some new ones on how to improve your light sources. http://goccf.com/t/406557#3484099Even though some of the threads may contain the same information, sometimes they are presented in a different way that you might see from a different presentation. If you find threads you like, post a comment on that thread. Also include the thought you like and it will bring that thread up so other newer ones could also read the information. It moves it back into the cue to be read/re-read by others a first/second or more times. It just takes a comment on your part, and it moves back up again to the current days threads. |

That's a really nice DDR, I want to go through my 1962 cents now. I read the article on lighting and it very useful. Don't have a light filtering source so I figured I'd try a negative shot with my phone, but I don't think it's a good enough photo to help. Still not sure if this is a cracked skull, but I'm not thinking lamination error now  |

@coop so this is a die break? Also it's cool to see one of my photos edited by you, thanks for adding my name for credit, idk if you will ever use the image for reference but it's cool either way. If it is a die break would it carry any premium or more like a die crack? I know die breaks can hold a small premium.

These errors can't become worse can they? Or is this considered an error? I didn't notice before but the thing goes through or behind his ear as well. Also would this be considered a Lincoln cracked skull? I think this pictures  |

Often the area will be encircled with a die crack and it will be a RIDB (Retained-Internal-Die-Break) But with the circulation it may have worn of the die crack line?

@coop, I think there is still a die crack but I can't tell with my scope because if the hair lines. I researched these a bit on ebay(die breaks) and in the condition this is in I'm guessing it might be worth like 1$ if that?:p also why did you edit the photo? I appreciate it lol just you have never done that on any of my posts. Would you like some different angles?

I seldom save these as it would cost more than it is worth to sell them. You would have to make a bundle deal to make it worth selling figuring the ebay fees in. |

I could always post it on etsey for 15,000$  , just kidding I would never. Etsey should really have more strict rules. Idk if any of the coins on there have ever sold, but the prices are pure robbery/fraud. I keep all my USA coinage either way in general you can't 'spend" pennies in Canada lol. I could probably sell my lot(only like 2200 pennies) for well over face but then I wouldn't get to inspect them. Also no idea how to ship/pack coins or anything else for that matter. Definitely something I'll have to figure out. So anyways my main question again, can I 2×2 this and lable it cracked skull Lincoln? Or is this technically something different. Also thanks for your time coop:) iv read many of your articles and they have taught me probably half of my numismatic knowledge, and I will continue to learn.though a Canadian specialist of your caliber would be nice to have around:p id say there are some contenders though which makes me happy that the hobby is growing over here. |

I look forward to seeing your finds when you get your new set up. It's very apparent that you enjoy the search, just take your time and things will come, enjoy it, don't let it beat you down. The more you learn though, the more you will find and there is a wealth of knowledge here.

I appreciate the boost of support, I am really enjoying the hobby, I can say for a fact iv never researched more on anything at this point in my life then coins and had an interest. When my son was born and I was on parental leave from work I was stuck at home and that with this forum lit a spark.iv never had a hobby really. I actually can't wait to have better equipment for looking at coins and my "coin space" is being set up day by day lol.
I would love to spend hours a day as I have looking through coins with h mre understanding and better equipment and that what is going to happen:)
