drhscl Valued Member United States 57 Posts	Posted 06/07/2022 5:32 pm I came across a 1993 Penny which at first appeared to have had some debris on the obverse during production, but I didn't want to rule out some doubling. Your help would be greatly appreciated. Report this Post to the Staff

drhscl Valued Member United States 57 Posts	Posted 06/07/2022 6:42 pm I thought it was unlikely doubling but didn't want to assume anything. Report this Post to the Staff
Earle42 Bedrock of the Community United States 10038 Posts	Posted 06/07/2022 7:08 pm Some help with searching coins. In order to find an error worth collecting, you need to know what a collectable error looks like. To keep from being frustrated over and over by finding normal imperfections such as the ones on this coin and then being told they are not collectable, take some rolls of coins, sort by date and mint mark, then go to varietyvista.com and use that site to know what to look for for each date and MM. They have pictures of all known doubled dies and RPMs. If you see something you think is a doubled die or RPM on a coin, yet its not of varietyvista.com, then you most likely have a noncollectable thing like Machine Doubling, Die Deterioration Doubling, etc. You can look up what these are at error-ref.com Using this approach will get yo to the point you can ID an ACTUAL error by yourself and not be tripped up by inconsequential imperfections.
