<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BooksB4Coins, post: 1386172, member: 36230&quot;]Idiot proof? Would be nice, but unfortunately, no. Time, patience, and experience are really the keys.</p><p><br /></p><p>There are a few sites that may interest you; coppercoins.com, the Lincoln Cent resource, doubleddie.com, as I am sure there are others too. If looking simply for fun or to work on your eye, start checking late LMC reverses (around the statue). There are literally hundreds of minor doubled dies that can easily be found, most often on coins dated from the mid 1990&#039;s and later. RPMs are very common and easily identifiable on late date wheat to early 1960&#039;s LMC&#039;s. As you can tell, there are quite a few people here who are fond of the WAM coins and these can be easily be picked even by the novice eye. There are huge number of doubled dies in the 2009 bicentennial series and most formative years (LP2) coins are easy attributions. Kennedy half dollars from the 1970&#039;s are loaded with minor doubled dies. The key is knowing what you are doing and what to look for.</p><p><br /></p><p>Get yourself a good loupe and be willing to take the time to learn. If this is something you stick with, sooner or later you may be surprised at what you can find. Good luck.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
