CentSeeker Valued Member United States 108 Posts	Posted 08/31/2022 6:46 pm I am starting to realize people got the impression that I was trying to memorize all the die markers in all the varieties, and that I was inspecting every single coin I touched for all the assigned die markers. I had a pretty good deep belly laugh after realizing how funny that sounded. That is not what I am doing at all. Sorry for confusing the whole thing. And I don't blame anyone for laughing either, that is just too darn funny. Report this Post to the Staff

It is a very bad idea to use them to identify a variety, and not a practical way to search. You should first match your coin to the doubling or other relevant features listed on the reference sites, THEN use the die markers to distinguish between similar dies if similar dies exist for the variety in question. Well said. Thanks for helping me learn. Report this Post to the Staff

There are 9 "I think" classes of hub doubling to learn, it is not just separation lines to look for. 4th post down http://www.coppercoins.com/forum/vi...hlight=class John1 This was very helpful, thank you. I don't recall seeing those examples before. Having the pretext from the forum was great the way the poster provided the descriptions. My big focus right now is how to identify those spreading types of doubled dies (maybe class 3 I think?) because they look so similar to the DDD. I don't think you would be able to tell the difference without a microscope. Report this Post to the Staff
CentSeeker Valued Member United States 108 Posts	Posted 08/31/2022 7:15 pm From the newbie perspective: Doubled Dies Class 3 and Class 9 are similar to DDD. Class 9 is the most hard to distinguish from DDD. Update edit: I looked again and 3, 6, 8, and 9 are hard to distingush because the doubling is basically one right on top of the other. DDD info was here for the comparison http://goccf.com/t/317950 Edited by CentSeeker 08/31/2022 7:49 pm Report this Post to the Staff
