Thank you!
My weakness is noticing minor Doubled Dies. It's very tricky for me. Partly because I honestly don't have many doubled dies at all, so the lack of having something in hand to compare can be difficult. Of course there are always those sites that provide photos like VV and Wexler's.

Yes, that's true. Training your eyes to know what to look for is the key. Plus have one in hand is helpful. Once you see a true doubled die in person, you won't forget it.

That's why I have my want list, want to be able to expand my doubled die collection, for one it'll simply back up my collection, as I have a single kinda major DDO, (rest are minor DDR Columns), and two, it will indeed help me train my eyes. |

Yep, that's the way to do it.

Alright good, just wanted to see if you thought that was a prime idea as well.
I must admit the time during Covid is a great time to fill my head with coin knowledge.

There are so many websites and forums out there. You could literally spend a lifetime researching and learning.

That's very true. I'm sure time will teach me in it's own way.
I've only have a limited time in the US. I've got till around August, then I'll be in the Middle East for two years. I've got to make the best of my time, with what I'm given.

Yes indeed it will. It's also the main reason why I haven't done much coin roll hunting, or really anything to do with coins till now. Because now I have a lot of time on my hands.

Maybe you could look for foreign error coins while you're over there.

Oh certainly, I've got quite a few foreign coins actually.
Maybe I can sneak a box of cents on the plane!
