You can get a feel for what &quot;good&quot; doubling generally looks like compared to machine doubling, and once you have that one thing down pat you can eliminate 90% of the doubling you see right off the bat, saving the time to concentrate on the more interesting stuff. The same applies to telling repunched/overpunched mint marks - the majority of what newer collectors think are RPMs/OMMs are either plain damage or maybe die chips, and there are patterns you can learn to eliminate the ones which don&#039;t need your attention.</p><p><br /></p><p>Look at coins. Lots of coins. If you&#039;re concentrating on Lincolns, even if you don&#039;t post in the threads, read every Lincoln thread which appears here. Look at other people&#039;s pictures, and learn from the dialogue.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
