Your last pic of UNITED is interesting but still pretty hard to make out-try some different lighting angles for better pics...either way don't quit yet! Lol it can be frustrating I know and it does take a lot of time but your efforts will pay off it just may take some time to find that first one

My thoughts exactly Mike, words are your friend.

When you make people guess at what your looking at, they tend to just move on and not reply.

I really have no idea of what to look for. Images seem to show some sort of doubling but they might just be reflections. I suspect Strike Doubling (also know as Machine Doubling and Mechanical Doubling) on the first S of STATES. I can't make out anything else for sure.

I see a bunch of clearly-imaged polishing lines but beyond that I've no idea what I'm looking for.

The devices are reduced in size because of die over polishing that removed part of the fields. Note in the first two images the devices thinner than normal. But that is all I can see going on with your coin.

I'm pretty sure it's a Lincoln Memorial cent. They've made several jillion of them since 1959.

The ratio is pretty slim for normal coins versus doubled dies from circulation. Maybe one in 50,000 coins will be a great doubled die. Finding minor varieties is a lot easier. (the bar DDR Memorial cents) But the key is knowing what to look for. If you are expecting each coin to contain a strong variety and keep looking for something that isn't there, then you are spinning your wheels. Just move on to the next coin because if there is a variety on the coin, it will leap out at you when you learn what the normal design looks like. Try different venues. Try searching OBW rolls of cents. These have not already been picked through by other roll searchers. Try looking at a certain years and not at circulation for a time. When you become familiar that that era (usually 3 years of coins, other times decades of coins) then you will easily spot a variety quicker. The coin collecting field is wide open for different things. But try to focus on one thing for a time. Search coppercoins/variety vista/Wexler's die varieties/Cherry picker guide/Red book and other sources when you are looking at a coin you can't figure out. But keep in mind you coin family here that will assist you and give you support. Remeber also the search feature on this site. You can type in a date/denomination/mint mark and find information that is already recorded. But just keep looking. You will find something.

that's the best advice yet coop. Ole good luck stay in the game, I just started about 7 weeks ago and if you spend most of your day doing it you will find one. just keep posting coins that you think is an error if you don't want to study the books then you will learn what to look for.
