<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BooksB4Coins, post: 2749069, member: 36230&quot;]My apologies for the earlier inside joke and for getting off track, but to address your question; is it safe to assume you&#039;re questioning the coin due to the thickness of the lettering? If so, it&#039;s likely due to a mix of die deterioration and circulation. Below are a couple of links that may be helpful to you. One explains exactly what a doubled die, both classic and &quot;single squeeze&quot; (<font size="2">for you, gemmy</font> <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />) is, along with how they&#039;re made, the different types, etc. The other link explains the most commonly encountered forms of &quot;worthless doubling&quot; (worthy of no premiums and generally non-collectible) and is, believe it or not, just as important to understand how to identify the different types in comparison to the former.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://doubleddie.com/58222.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://doubleddie.com/58222.html" rel="nofollow">http://doubleddie.com/58222.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://doubleddie.com/144801.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://doubleddie.com/144801.html" rel="nofollow">http://doubleddie.com/144801.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>If new to this all, to the hobby or varieties in particular, please don&#039;t allow yourself to become disillusioned. Although learning doesn&#039;t happen as quickly as I&#039;m sure you&#039;d like, if you enjoy what you&#039;re doing, the reward can well be worth the investment of the time and energy necessary to do so. In fact, we&#039;ve another young lady member who did just that, and since getting over the hump, has become an excellent numismatist and has had a number of fantastic finds. Perhaps she&#039;ll stop in to share some of her experiences and/or any advice she may have. She sets a fine example of what can happen if/when one puts their mind to it.
