I can't tell the difference between DDD cause some look the same as a master dd. So obviously asking due to not understanding the images |

Does not look the same to me.., but I'm on here to learn.. I'll be sure not to post any others so I'm not made to feel so uneducated. I read forums constantly and there r many environmental errors I'm trying to differentiate. Most people are extremely helpful on here, which I have appreciated immensely

Sorry you feel that way.
I say continue to post so that you do become educated to the specifics of how these types of doubling are different.

Only 2 years, but I started all over the board so I have a huge lot of bicentennial D quarter I'm constantly looking at and Franklins. I realized a year ago how much I love penny's and that's what I stick to now.. I have purchased boxes to coin search and know key dates, possible transitional error years. When they switched the compositions.. I don't know main errors from master dies.. trying to learn. I know 68 have a lot of close letters to edge which is when they switched the master die after, amongst other little things.., I have so much to learn which I do realize. still can't figure out lots

I have most coins, Morgan's which I can't begin to understand vams or have a love for them. I have most every kind of coin except nothing older then 1833. I just don't study them or only know key dates

I had some stuff to get rid of about twelve years ago and decided to do it with ebay, non coin related. While I was doing this, I started checking out different listing on the site and ran across a high end 1914 D Lincoln Cent that sold for several thousands, I was hooked.... As I spent more time on the bay, I ran across Morgan dollars, thought they were the most beautiful coin I had ever seen and still think so. I spent six years on those, trying to learn as much as I could and did OK with that, as far as learning. Had to get away from them, for monetary reasons and found Lincolns. I have messed with other coins over the years but Lincolns have taught me more about coins, in general, than anything else I have dealt with. I personally suggest that you stick with one denomination and learn it well, at that point, if you want to branch out, then do so. I'm just saying from experience, don't jump around at first. If you stick with Lincolns, I suggest checking out the Lincoln Cent Forum: http://www.lincolncentforum.com/forum/activity.php as well as here, you will learn much. My gears have changed a lot since I saw that 1914 D sell for so much. I search now for the love of it but won't lie, that's what got me hooked.  -makecents-

Funny you suggested this, I will be honest it's the only coin I spend all my time on as well, I go to estate sales and I am a hairdresser so have a very large client base I talk with daily so they have randomly brought me In stuff being they don't care for the hobby or they are starting to research and get interested as well. I thank you for your history on how u got hooked. I went to an estate sale a person had saved a 1972 dd penny which I knew there had to be a reason it was saved so googling it made me see value a penny could be. Next estate I bought a roll of 1917 pennies but so much wear u wouldn't b able to see if there was doubling. We all have to start somewhere and the more I learn the more I appreciate each coin recognizing the ugly ones and appreciating the toning of others. I look at every penny dish in places I go and often swap a couple of mine for one of theirs that catch my eye. thank you for your words, I am sticking to pennies and appreciate we all start somewhere. I really dislike shield pennies though, I send them back except for a roll I received from the bank of uncirculated 2021s
