2004-P Lincoln Double Die's?

I was reading in Numismatic News (12/7/04) about the discovery of Double Dies of 2004-P Lincolns. Looking at the pictures which were probably blown up 30X, I am not impressed.

These are not double die varieties as you would have seen in 1995, 1972, and the grand daddy of them all, 1955. These are double dies that are only seen under a scope! If you can't see it with a naked eye or under 3X magnification, should it be a variety?

Still, the article stated that these 2004 Lincoln varieties have fetched between $275 to $450 with one circulated specimen selling for $898 on eBay...are you kidding me?

Is it me or are some of these varieties just too "whacked"?

I am sure if you look at enough coins under 20-30 or 50 power, you may find a whole slew of varieties...so the question arises...What constitutes a true double die variety versus one that is only visible under a scope?
