are you resizing the pictures to make them smaller? if that is the problem the images can be up to 100k to fit on the forum, if those are just as big as the pictures are coming straight from your camera then I don't have any advice to fix that. Now on to the coins, I don't see anything at all that screams error on any of those Proof coins you posted. Maybe you can point out what you are seeing on each coin so we will know what to look for

I can't tell from the pictures about anything else but I can tell you I see absolutely no doubling what so ever in these pictures, the other things like dropped letters and stuff I can't really tell but the doubling I am pretty sure about

A little Machine Doubling on the cent, nothing at all on the other coins. You should really invest some time in learning about what you are looking for rather than just looking for it. I don't mean to be cruel, but you show you really don't know what to look for when you post normal coins here thinking they are doubled. Maybe you might want to get one of the many books that teaches you what you're trying to find. You should learn about your editing software. Although knowing your camera is important, the editing software is where you are going to get your savings in pixel size and optimization, which will make your images far smaller in file size at near the same quality. Also you might want to consider proofreading your typing. I'm having a really hard time understanding you sometimes.

I don't know how to try and help you. You come here asking for opinions and when they aren't what you have in your head what they are then you just go with what you think it is anyway. I really hope you don't get disappointed when ANACS sends your coins back in a regular slab with just regular grading and no attribution. Most of the people that have tried to tell you what you are looking at have seen these things a million times and know what to look for and your coins don't show the characteristics of a double die, they just don't have it. I think I will just throw up my hands and walk away from the keyboard on this one

Dont you find it peculiar that every coin you look at has an error on it?

Sorry, the cent is Mechanical Doubling. There is no doubling on any of the other coins. You are not looking at die doubling on any of these coins. You can either believe us or send them in to a slabber, pay a bunch of money and get the same result. No Doubling. We should start charging for answers:-) You really need to familiarize yourself with minting practices so that you can get an understanding of what you are looking for. The reflective surfaces of proof coins makes Mechanical Doubling seem to be even more pronounced than it might appear on a circulation strike coin. The odds of having all coins in a proof set that are doubled die varieties would be astronomical to the 10th power. Thanks, Bill

Bryan, if someone was LOOKING for an arguement it might have sounded a little harsh. I think you were making yourself clear in that you can't change what you see. Nothing to worry about. Don't worry be happy.

I did NOT say that quarter IS a dropped letter. I said it's definitely struck through, POSSIBLY a dropped letter. Once again, you mince what someone else says here to change it into what you want it to be.
And no matter what you see, you should drop the complete hard headedness and listen to people. Your coins are NOT doubled dies and will NOT be holdered as such by ANACS. You would be wasting your time and money sending them there.
You act like you are incapable of understanding and incapable of listening. You obviously don't get it, yet you won't listen when those who do tell you what you should do to quit wasting time. I'm beginning to wonder if you might be playing this "dumb" thing to get attention.

Just like Chuck to cut right through the fecal material to get to the heart of the issue:-)
Chuck may have hit the nail on the proverbial head. We are happy to answer questions. We have seen the learning process take place on this forum with many people. On the other hand, there is either a lack of acceptance of the truth or a lack of learning in some cases with only a small few.
You do have to wonder if we are sometimes getting our chains pulled.
In the meantime if the small few make an effort , on their own to learn and understand what is being said, we should see an improvement in the posts from those few. When we see no improvement there is reason to ask....What's the Point of continuing to answer the posts from the few who seem not to move ahead with the learning process.
Believe me when I say, I personally understand the "wishful thinking" point of view but if doubled die varieties and major errors were as easy to find as some people seem to think, there wouldn't be much sense in collecting them.
They are at least scarce and many are downright rarities.
Some folks need to improve their skills with respect to understanding what they are looking at. Those that have are asking more intelligent questions. The very few who seem not to be improving their skills are getting boring.
Thanks...
