Yes, I agree wholeheartedly. Most all Double Dies can be seen with any combination of a 5X Loupe and a Maker's Mark on the rocks.
What magnification loupe do you normally use? I try to use a 20X Is this enough magnification to catch most DD's? Maybe I'm not using a loupe...
OK...Is it just me, or are some of these Double Dies almost impossible to see? I mean, I go through rolls of pennies and pull out dates with known...
Does anyone have an album from this maker? I'm interested in a type album by this maker, but their website is sorely lacking in photos and...
Actually, I have 3 early commems and 1 later one. I'm not what you would call LOADED, but I am in the banking field and financially comfortable. I...
I've thought about a nice Trade Dollar, too. I must be honest though...I'm scared to buy one. Almost every person I've heard of that's bought a...

By the way, I do something unusual when I collect for my type set that I don't do for my normal collections. I actually look for cleaned coins....
I'll be more than happy to show off what I have so far. It's not even close to being complete...but, I'm proud of what I have nevertheless....
Hello fellow coin collectors!! I would be appreciative of any opinions/guesses as to the identity of this coin. I found it in a roll of nickels,...

By the way...Just received new information today on a popular Type album. I bought one of the new Intercept Shield Type Albums from a favorite...
I'll see if I can get a decent photo of it. It has a nice arc to the clip, in the same radius as a nickel is. The edge has a funny look to it,...
Wow, this has been one great thread, with great information. But, back to the original question...anyone know where I can get a list of the WCG...
