I'm finding alot of coins that have doubling. I've read up on certain coins to look for with doubling and most are worth big dollars. There's videos of some guy going ooo look get out a microscope see that doubling. $$$$ while I'm looking at the same coin that has so much doubling it's a error coin of the same year I guess
Probably a you tube click bait video. Some genuine sites for you to check your coins against, https://doubleddie.com/ http://varietyvista.com/ www.lincolncentresource.com If you need more advice please post clear focused images of the coin and your questions Welcome to CT
Listen to the first post. You Tube videos are click bait for the most part and what they are describing are usually the rare doubled die coins that you have no prospect of finding in pocket change. Everyone in the know, knows that they have mostly all been found. (1955/1972 cents) There are others that are still possible but not nearly in the same price range nor will you find them in extraordinary condition. But the hunt can still be fun.
Welcome to CT @Bertcap. As already mentioned, check the links and learn. Photos are always encouraged and if you are talking about the post 1983 cent, copper plating and worn dies account for most of the "doubling." Hopefully, my spiel to new members will be helpful when you post photos. You should always post FULL IMAGE photos (after you upload your photo, two buttons appear: Thumbnail and Full Image, click Full Image and your photo appears full size on your post and is easily enlarged by clicking on it. Always show both the obverse and reverse, even if your question is just about one side. Members can often give more valuable information having both sides to evaluate. Crop out superfluous background so just the coin shows, and post photos with correct orientation so members don't have to turn their computer in some awkward fashion to view it properly. Add close ups of areas you have questions about and make your questions as definitive as possible so we know what you are asking for. And try to have the best lighting possible to show the most favorable photo of the coin. Hope this helps in the future. Good luck.
There is doubling, and then there is doubling. Doubled dies usually carry a premium, but not all are worth a lot. Also for every doubled die coin there are probably thousands of coins that are doubled from die deterioration, machine doubling or plating issues, these have no premium. If you are going to look for doubled dies, the first thing you need to do is study up so you can tell the difference between doubled dies and worthless doubling.
There's a good reason I stickied that post. Everyone really needs to read it, as well as the article linked from it.
