<p>[QUOTE="Oldhoopster, post: 3695143, member: 84179"]You should take a look at <a href="http://www.doubleddie.com/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.doubleddie.com/" rel="nofollow">WWW.doubleddie.com</a>. There is a tab marked Worthless Doubling. It explains Die Deterioration Doubling as well as machine doubling (MD). If you are interested in Doubled Die errors, I strongly recommend learning as much about the minting and die making process as possible. The more you know, the less time you’ll spend chasing things like DDD and MD. Many members on CT are very knowledgeable on this topic and be helpful.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, while it’s interesting to look at coins under high magnification (I would occasionally sneak one into the SEM when I was in grad school), there is very little interest in errors that are not visible at 5-10X. At high mags, finding things becomes more of an academic exercise and very few in the hobby are interested, so these Micro doubled dies rarely bring much of a premium.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
