You need to check all three at times as some varieties are unique to one site or the other.

As stated, all three give slightly different views of pix, variety and stages plus the variances of markers. Some are quite easy, I start w/ coppercoins then use varietyvista . I like CC because it will list cross references at time, a bit more than VV.

Coppercoins.com, varietyvista.com, and doubleddie.com. These are all three of the site that you can use to look up Doubled Dies. And no, don't use google.com. information may be inaccurate.

Use "guzzle.com", the site that has you "seeing things", especially that which isn't there!  Why, isn't that the noobie site we get questioned about....daily?  . Back in my day(when dinosaurs roamed) we used to call them seeing "pink elephants" after an energetic evening of imbibement! Lol!  Edited by Crazyb0

The resources found in the archives here surpasses that, that's already mentioned. That said and pending denomination, the three main resources I use for checking varieties straight up have been listed above. Thanks, Doug. |

Why do some sites list more varieties than others? A couple of reasons. 1. If a coin is a stronger variety it may/may not get listed by all three sites. 2. It depends on if they are submitted a coin. Years ago was just one organization listing coins. Then it branched out to two and then even more later. For RPMs they original book was the orange RPM book.  But as more dies were added, the book was then out of print and needed updated. Coppercoins came along and used the numbers from the orange RPM book as the base for their listings. Wexler did something more unique. He was one of ones who were in the basic original group. So a lot of dies were listed already . But his listing are more unique as he took the strongest ones and made them the lower numbers. Most of the organizations were adding new dies as they became available. (and all the them still add that way today) What is the difference between the sites? ( CONECA Variety Vista site) One lists the stronger ones, one list almost every thing ( doubleddie.com John Wexler's Site) and the third one lists half way in between. Coppercoins.com) Let's look at numbers of dies listed: 1959-D RPMs Wexler listed in an older publication 111 dies. (The information is from the 1959-D RPM book from John Wexler) http://doubleddie.com/Variety Vista lists 12 dies http://www.varietyvista.com/index.htmCoppercoins lists 63http://www.coppercoins.com/index.phpSo some list more, but some are not submitted to the other sites yet. So They may/may not have the same dies, but usually on doubled dies, the listing numbers will be totally different. So who has them all? That is a loaded question. Each has it specialty. Coppercoins deals mainly with copper Lincoln Cents. Variety Vista lists just the stronger ones of all denominations. Wexler lists more dies, but some of his listing on the internet are not complete yet. (Cents) He has another site that works with Jefferson nickels. But all other denominations he lists the new listings as they come in. There are other sites, but all three are doing this now. Hope this helps. Edited by coop

I'm in the process of making my own. I posted about it before but I'm remaking it now to make it easier to use. There's no way I can make it as complete as the three above any time soon if ever, so stick to those three above.
