Message:: [QUOTE="Jeff Callahan, post: 5319746, member: 116765"]I suppose with a combination of feeling a bit frustrated with posting multiple threads in anticipation of a find, which would be my first, and only to find out it was nothing, and my lack of knowledge on the subject together made me want to try something different with the arrows. Most of you guys know what you are looking for. Some of you have really tried to help me by sending me links to literature on the subject or pictures of various errors and varieties out there. While this information has really help me to progress in understanding what to look for, I am overwhelmed with how intricately how it all ties together. For example, with doubled die issues. I believe I understand more about how the manufacturing process can cause damage to the coin mechanically or through deterioration of the equipment used in the process. The problem is that the damage can happen anywhere on the coin and look so familiar with true doubling. Understanding that the doubling actually "transferring" to the planchet verses being caused by mechanical breakdown does help me but the minute differences are hard to spot on older coins and that is mostly what I have been looking at. It's hard for a novice to explain to someone who has figured it out. I will get it though. I promise I will. I appreciate guys like you who take the time to help.[/QUOTE]
