Keep looking. Maybe go to a local coin shop.
Better Yet, the Ling Beach Coin Expo is on Sept 4th-6th in Longbeach.

Stop by Fred Weinberg's Table (#833) as he always has a bunch of really cool error coins to look at.
The Penny Lady will be there as well with her copper cents. (Table #848)

You can shop and you can talk to these folks about your interests and maybe even pick up some common error coins for discussion here.

 

The marketing as a Poor Man's Doubled Die was during the 1950's and the coin collecting craze.
[Obviously there was no internet at the time].

Obviously, today it would not be promoted as such, yet many folks (like the OP) still get fooled by them.

To see many other 'non-errors' see Frank Spadone's book on errors.
He even included a 'slanted 1' [I believe it was a 1941 Lincoln) as a variety.

Today we know that this is simply a result of damage from a counting machine.

These were back in the 'dark ages' when errors were just beginning to be being studied.

 

Thank you for using my post. Really? A slanted '1'??? hum--please not another thing to check out----wait---call the grand kids and see if there is any in there??? darn it--knew I shouldn't have sent those coins
