I try to look up the terms when I find a new one, but the sites say a spread but I cannot find what it means. I assume it means it is thicker towards the middle than normal from hub doubling but want to make sure that is correct.

I have learned more from this site than all the books I bought on what to look for in errors. I appreciate the time given to answering questions.

Yep. That's very true. When I joined this site on July 3rd, 2017, I didn't know as nearly as much as I know now. Thanks to this website, I am answering a lot of the questions for the new numismatics just getting into the hobby.

Suprisingly I never thought I could ever learn as much as some of the people on here. Now I know about 1% of what they do.
