Spence Moderator United States 34430 Posts	Posted 07/06/2023 06:15 am @crr, it is fine for this thread, but moving forward please separate out each coin into its own thread. That way we can give each coin the proper attention. Thx. Also, have you looked on a site like varietyvista to compare your coins with known doubled dies?

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 07/06/2023 06:49 am crr434, First you need to learn what a doubled die is before you waste any more time looking for them. You can't find what you don't know to look for. Here is a good link to study and bookmark: https://koinpro.tripod.com/Articles...Doubling.htm Here are the three reference links we all need to check to find an attribution number before posting question here on CCF:http://www.coppercoins.com/advsearch.php http://varietyvista.com/ http://doubleddie.com/ Good luck on your research and hunting John1 Edited by John1 07/06/2023 06:50 am Report this Post to the Staff

SamCoin Pillar of the Community United States 3237 Posts	Posted 07/06/2023 09:23 am Agree with John. Spend some time learning about what doubled dies are and how they're made to avoid wasting time, then use a reference site like Variety Vista or Wexler's for each date while you hunt so you're focusing your attention on known doubled die varieties. Unlisted doubled dies are out there, but you aren't likely to encounter one, and it's better to walk a known path until you know what you're doing before you try bushwhacking on your own.
