Charles, where does one draw the line on what to keep with these.
2005P doubled right knee and maybe a doubled right foot with, again maybe, and extra foot in the pedestal.

I bought 2 boxes of cents last month and the verious things you have showed here were present on about 70% of everything in the rolls. I personnaly feel that if I have to use a lot of magnification to see it, don't bother.

The middle one is a nice one. The other two aren't keepers.

The line is basically this:

If there's column doubling and the doubled area is at least as long as the distance from the hand to the foot, it's a keeper.

OR

If there's doubling in more than one spot (such as a column AND knees) then it's a keeper.

If you go into keeping everything that has ANY doubling on it, you would be keeping nearly half of the coins you look through.

I would like to put in input. They are all keepers to me. I have 667 different doubled columns in one collection, 156 diff
slants or spikes, 110 diff tripled columns (dbling on both #6 and #7), 271 diff doubled body parts. It's my hobby and that's what I collect. It's your hobby, too, MorgansRMine, Tim, rockdude and Chuck. Collect what you feel you want and
how to name and number the little orphans. They don't take up
much room. I had 70 rolls of duplicates and sold them to a friend for face value and he paid the freight. I enjoy finding each and every one and save all positions of bars no matter how short or long, same way with the minor and major body parts. Got me a chart and check-off system so as not to get confused. They are not worth anything moneywise, but sure
fun to collect. This is our hobby, men and we all make the world go around. Thank you.
