<p>[QUOTE="Mint Mark, post: 2655124, member: 3321"]With all due respect, Don, this is the kind of doubling that I want. The 1955 is the crown jewel. I mentioned this on another thread...back in 1973, when I was in 7th grade, my buddies and I went through scores of rolls of 1972 Lincolns from the bank hoping to find the elusive doubled die. We used to spend hours feeding clad quarters into the coin changer at the local laundromat hoping to get a silver dime back. We might have gotten one or two silver dimes - nothing close to a DDO. You seem to have the same zeal that we did many decades ago. That's a wonderful thing.</p><p><br /></p><p>But, in my (non-expert) opinion, if you need a microscope to see it, it isn't a doubled die. At least, not a marketable one. For all I know, someone may give you a few bucks for that one. If so, God bless ya. And, hey, people have found all sorts of valuable coins in pocket change. But people hit the slots for tens of thousands in Vegas, too. Then again, it doesn't happen very often. Not often enough to motivate me to pump my hard-earned dollars into a slot machine, or to pore over thousands of coins in my change jar.</p><p><br /></p><p>Again, I salute you. I appreciate your enthusiasm. I trust that you're young. I was when I spent untold hours looking at pennies through a magnifying glass and saying to my friend, "I think that this is a doubled die."
