<p>[QUOTE="Kevin Mader, post: 8282193, member: 106826"]I am glad to help where I can. I recall pouring out my Dinkelacker mini-keg and sorting all the 1998, 1999, and 2000 LMCs. I had hundreds of them, but in the end, only found the one 2000 WAM. It was in great shape, so at least I had that working for me that day.</p><p><br /></p><p>Another tip: learn about the different classes of doubled dies. If you understand how they are made, then it will help you figure out what you are looking for when you have a specimen in front of you. For instance, the two DDOs I noted above are Class 5 doubled dies. Knowing where the impressions are anchored and how they pivot creates different expectations in the mind and will direct you to look at specific thing under the loop/scope. If it were a Class 1 or Class 2 doubled die, you'd be looking for a spread in different regions of the coin, some about the peripheral devices and perhaps around LIBERTY and the date. Understanding the differences between classes will help you. I wish I knew this better at the start!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
