Could these be double die coins ?

It's really quite simple: to each his or her own.

This is nothing more than yet another niche area in a hobby comprised of many. Unfortunately, one of the reasons it has grown so in recent years is the self-centered and unrealistic promotion from folks wanting to capitalize on the very human desire to make something from nothing. Now it seems that every other new person developing an interest in the hobby does so under the belief that they too can waltz in and reap great windfalls with just a few hours searching, no knowledge necessary. While there's certainly nothing wrong with having an interest in said "microscopic" varieties or any other area of numismatics, the misinformation often promoted on YouTube (or the like) needs to be countered at every opportunity in that such people need to understand searching for such coins must be done for enjoyment. No free rides or windfalls will be coming from such coins no matter what some YouTube clown claims in order to up his viewer/subscription count.

If the above was indeed in response to Finn's post, you may want to rethink your position on what you think you're seeing in the photos he posted.

 

Well thanks for the helpful info BooksB4coins ... I've never seen a ROUNDED MACHINE DOUBLING that way myself. But then again I'm no expert . So I wasn't sure if the photos he posted was rounded machine / ejection doubling . But either way thanks . And is the photos he posted Machine doubling ?

 

Oh and by the way I'm all for learning and growing my knowledge of the different variations of doubling which is why I asked and posted only the images I posted of the coin . To focus solely on the different areas of doubling .
