Hi, I'm sure I have some in the thousands of coins I have to sort through, but need an example so they don't slip past me-especially minor versions which I'm sure I have some of! Pictures don't do me justice-it would really help me to see it "live". It's getting to the point that I keep questioning whether I am seeing a DDO or Machine Doubling or it's just the angle of the light which I swear makes all text double at times which gets me REALLY confused! Maybe I can trade for some with coins you need or I could send a SASE? Looking for cheap versions obviously-hopefully there are some of those! Thanks for any help, Marlies |

You might have better luck if you narrowed the categories a bit. Do you want modern DDO / DDR, some references for RPM, something else? Are you focused on a particular denomination like cents, nickels, dimes, quarters, halves? Stuff does come up for sale on ebay, Brian's coins, Variety Vista, Wexler, and elsewhere. I was just looking at a few of the "door" error nickels for $4 each. If you only want a reference and not a resale coin, I think people probably have some with scratches, edge damage, or other issues that would prevent grading but still provide a reasonable example for a microscope. |

Brandmeister I have mostly pennies and quarters, so that are my main areas. I look at nckels and dimes at times as well which is why I added those to the list. Non resale coins would be great too since I really just want reference points which is why I asked for cheap ones. DDO-DDR as well as Machine Doubling are more of my focus since those seem to be the hardest to find and tell apart. Marlies |

Brandmeister Good grief-how many varieties are there? I will be getting the 2023 Red Book in a few weeks so maybe that might help. I was just looking for an example of DDO / DDR and MD-doesn't matter where. Marlies |

Hi, I've found a bunch of them and will post on the other forum when I get time. The DDO are easier to see on quarters, but once I saw a few there I could find them easier on the pennies. Marlies |
