    Where do you see doubling?

    Also on almost all the lettering compared to the others of same dates.

    I don't see any doubling but the pictures aren't detailed/focused enough to make a finer determination. Given the known DDO/DDRs for these dates are very minor and would require clear, magnified photos of the affected areas as shown by Wexler would be needed by the CT community.

    What you are most likely seeing is machine doubling, however the images, as mentioned, are not sharp or zoomed-in enough. So do more research, work on your photography. You will find it rewarding and stimulating, note an image I copied for you:

    Machine_or_DD.jpg
    Note the rounded humps of the tape on the DD surfaces. Whereas the MD tape is flat, no rounded humps. That is why close-up sharp photography is needed if you wish to get more information. Keep working at it, who knows you may actually have a DDO or DDR in your collection.

    Doubled dies are not common and therefore not easy to find. Whenever you think you have something, always check it against known varieties listed at doubleddue.com and varietyvista.com to see if it's an EXACT match

    Making things more difficult is that many of the known doubled dies are what I call "microdoubled die", where you need higher mag to see them. Unless you're good at coin photography, it's hard to post a good pic for members to evaluate. People like @Rick Stachowski are pretty good at evaluating microdoubles

    The correct term is "Doubled die".

    What’s your reason for searching? If it’s to make money then it is probably best to give up. You can make more money doing Uber in the time it will take you to find something worth more than face value.

    if you truly want to learn about coins and collect them for the beauty and history, stick around.

    [rant on] Honestly, he probably should. He's probably watched one too many
    "DO YOU HAVE THIS $50,000 COIN IN YOUR POCKET?!?!"
    videos on YouTube and thinks he can make a fortune.

    IT's a massive waste of time to get boxes and boxes of cents and hope for a new variety, or something worth more than 10 cents. In terms of profit per hour, it's really not worth it unless there's literally NOTHING better to do with one's time.

    Honestly, one would likely make more money driving around Coinstar hunting than coin roll hunting.

    It takes a very long time to learn when it applies to coins because there is so much to learn. Then add in the composition changes and changes in the minting process. It's never ending.

    Please don't give up. Coin collecting is a hobby. It's not a way to make money. Just do what you do and enjoy.

    Kyle if you read through the 100s of threads on Doubled Dies possibility, only maybe 5 out of 100 has a person actually finding one, and 4/5 of those are the minor low value ones. Sadly, it takes many many hours of study and comparisons to find a real doubled die coin. Most of us that are older got into it as a supplement to a good job, and some of the youngest generations are trying to make it a job. Make the money first if possible and then go for the coins.IMO
