Doubled dies are created when the hub makes a die incorrectly. Mint marks are added to the die. when there appears to be two mint marks, that is called a RPM. (Re-Punched-Mint mark) So if you have a doubled mint mark, it is a RPM. (for that year)

The image is way too small to tell what you do have. I see a 1955-D. that a given. But closer images would help a lot more. Something like this is a lot more helpful:

That is the size range we need to see what you have.

You are starting to get closer, but so far away yet. You might try a magnifier to get closer so we can see the area you wish to see?

Your getting there. The lighting need a bit of diffusion to remove the glare of the tops of the devices. A piece of plastic grocery bag or a sheep of white paper will remove glare. Place it between the light source and the coin and it will remove the glare. Also a bit more focus. When you are getting it down, you will need to focus on the field next to the device you want to show. If you focus on the tops of the devices, then the images fields will not be clear. So focus on the fields, the lowest part of the coin. You are making progress.

If they are normal coins, no need. If you have a question about them if they are a variety, you could look them up on coppercoins.com/ or http://doubleddie.com/1801.html . Also you can check Variety Vista for varieties ( http://varietyvista.com/ )and see if that helps identify what you have. If you can't ID the coin, you might start a thread for each coin. The reason for the different thread is that if someone is searching for your thread, they can find the year/your name on the thread easier. So make sure to put the date and denomination in the title of each thread.
