ok thank you for that. I didn't want to assume. it seems the learning process never ends.
that is a little easier for me to understand and I see it better. so more or less an error is "unique" in its way. not trying to split hairs but...
so it sounds like you are saying a doubled die is not an error, is that correct?
it wasn't a find I am just trying to fine tune my knowledge so that I may be more useful to future collectors. like in the movie LUCY when they...
I have the error note book by I believe Mr. bart? obviously I have seen the over prints, the butterfly and gutter folds, inking errors etc. I am...
that wasn't the "hot lips" one right? not familiar with merc DD's.
if you take a year that has no reported doubled dies and then one is found, is it considered a variety by itself? or would a 2nd one need to be...
I find this educational and appreciate the suggestion. I am not a collector but a seller. I pretty much only do quarters 65-present. I do cents...
I did a dumb dumb move. I am familiar with those blisters. I didn't see the little picture of the penny and thought we were talking about the...

after all this time I learned something new. whenever attributing my finds the only die markers I have seen listed are the die dots, gouges, die...
I agree in determining variety, however I was only speaking in terms as using those sites as a pictorial aid in comparing a coin that one might...
is MM placement used as a die marker?
i am not certain that they are at that stage yet. some varieties only have doubling in certain locations. may be the date, motto, etc. if they...
I find variety vista is the least helpful IMO. coppercoins.com shows 6 obv and 2 rev DD's. while doubleddie.com shows 7 obv and 5 rev DD's.
just because there may not be multiple varieties on a specific coin does not mean there are none to discover. while you may strike out a few times...
if you had read the updated link you would not be asking me this as I have already had it looked at and admitted that I was wrong.
why didn't you mention this in the update 6 months ago when I posted the one that said "update"? I think that the only thing that is really...
if you scroll through the comments...you actually commented on the update thread LMAO
maybe you were on vacation? https://www.cointalk.com/threads/1971-p-half-dollar-looks-silver-update.305826/#post-2906771
