Hello all I just recently started collecting coins and I really amazed on how many errors I have to look at on a coin. I have bought some books and a microscope to help me I am kind of stuck on what is truly a double die but I have recently discovered this coin and was wounder if you all can help with any thing Thank you
Since this is a Zincoln (Zinc Lincoln), what you are seeing is probably a plating blister. These ***** coins are the worst!!! If it were a copper cent, I would call it a die chip (part of the die chipped off causing this feature). Interesting, but don't give up your day job. Welcome to CoinTalk...kick your shoes off and stay awhile.
Hello and welcome to CoinTalk The correct Numismatic terminology is actually Doubled Die and it is considered a Mint Variety Here is a website to help you - http://doubleddie.com/58222.html and here is a great Mint Error website - http://www.error-ref.com/
For US coins in gereral, get "A Guidebook of United States Coins" (referred to as the Redbook). Best $12-15 you'll ever spend on the hobby. I'm partial to books, but if you're interested in error coins, the sites @paddyman98 linked along with http://www.varietyvista.com/ are good resources.
