I have a lot of pennies but I have a hard time telling the difference between error coins and worn coins!?!
It just takes practice, training you eye. There are many error website you can check out. Here are a couple. Also, post some more pictures and forks here will help you. http://www.jimscoins.com/error_coin_examples.php http://coinauctionshelp.com/page14.html#.VyENUGa7W-o
Yeah I've seen a lot of websites just unsure if I am just seeing things or if I actually have a couple double dies.
First, welcome to the neighborhood, jelly! Unfortunately, my crystal ball is in the shop for a tune-up. Without seeing photos, we would only be guessing. Chris
Well Jelly sounds like you're in a tad bit of a Jam! However you're not....... you can go to Varietyvista.com it's a free site where you can look at your coins and compare them to the real varieties . Welcome aboard and it ain't so unless you post a pic.
I'm sure just about all of us were right where you are when the bug first bit. It's a fun journey you have ahead. Enjoy !
hey jelly, welcome to CT, heres a great site with lots of pics for pennies...http://www.lincolncentresource.com/index.html
That's because - meaning no offense - you're attempting something which takes years of experience to learn how to do. It's just not reasonable to expect to be hitting home runs off major league pitching in the first fifty times you've ever held a bat. Learn what they should look like - both "perfect" coins and "righteous" errors - before attempting to start identifying what may or may not be in your own holdings. It's actually far faster, and you won't be endlessly disappointed. Machine doubling takes a thousand forms, and honest hub or die doubling follows strict rules.
