How rare are doubled dies exactly?

These moderns aren't doubled dies, that's why. How can they be doubled, on a single squeeze? These are smeared dies, caused by slippage, the "experts" are just calling "doubled dies." They should be differentiated from doubled dies, which result from two squeezes, striking off-alignment, but they're not. Gee, I wonder why? These "experts" are BS, that's why.

Interesting thought

 

You know, guys, I did some research. You might be interested in knowing, out of the last 1,225 newbies to join this site, the very first question, from 71.8%, or 879.55 of them was, "Is this a double die?"

 

Here's a pic of a 1955 double die cent piece, just in case you were wondering what it would look like. Really good specimen here!

 

you should check with parks and recreations before digging in the woods. especially if it is a state park. in some instances it might not be allowed. better be safe than sorry. please remember to take all trash with you that you find, and remember to fill in your holes.

 

not a double die...it's a doubled die.

 

72 ddo's are pretty easy to find with patience. I think there was what? 13 varieties??
if you are saving and collecting them, LC's are good...but errors are far and few in between. if you look for errors to make a few bucks...you picked the wrong denomination. now you could always take from peter to pay paul. quarters have far more errors and you find silver. you could sell quarter errors to fund a LC collection. in the end, you can build a collection without paying out your own money.

 

you flipped them around. 2000 is the most common.
