<p>[QUOTE=&quot;foundinrolls, post: 85017, member: 4350&quot;]Hi,</p><p>Yes, I use a jewelers loupe.&nbsp; its only an 8X loupe so these are pretty easy to spot.&nbsp; Go the gallery.&nbsp; There is a link at the top of this page.&nbsp; I set up a gallery of Doubled Die stuff.&nbsp; You can see what a 1974 D DDO Looks like as well as what to look for on a 1966 DDO.&nbsp; They are the &quot;Pick Up Points&quot;, as we call them. </p><p>There are coins as mentioned in my other post with many being from the 1964, and the 40% silver issues that are excellent doubled die struck coins.&nbsp; There are also many from the early 1970s that are out there. </p><p>Look at the IN GOD WE TRUST Motto for splits on the serifs.&nbsp; There are some, I can think of a 1972 that is almost as doubled as the 1974 D pieces. </p><p>These can actually be seen with a 4x handheld lens from &quot;wal-mart&quot; that you can pick up for a few bucks.</p><p>As always, the tough thing is to get the difference between mechanically doubled stuff and the true die doubled coins.&nbsp; Like the 1974 D, Look for the splits at the serifs and the nice grooves on the lettering.&nbsp; The doubling is rounded on the good ones and flat on the mechanically doubled stuff.</p><p>If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask.</p><p>Have Fun,</p><p>Bill[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
