Message:: [QUOTE="JSparrow1220, post: 3274150, member: 97751"][USER=42872]@Rick Stachowski[/USER] I can clearly see the difference when looking at them side by side; but to the untrained eye, something like that could come and go without you even realizing that you had anything... After reading up on the different classes of doubled dies, it makes me question what I could possibly have stashed away in bags. I bought (literally, for a cheap price considering how much I got) 10,000 wheat pennies/200 rolls from an old man named Mr. John (which set a fire and got me into this hobby). Some of the lamination errors, improper alloy mixes, and cud errors that I've found out of his collection are nothing less than amazing (zebra pennies/ volcano cracks). I've found so many little bitty deformities on lettering and numbers (dots, squiggles, die breaks, cuds, extra thickness, etc etc you name it), I tossed all of those pennies into a bag labeled "Possible Errors" without having any idea that they could really be something (or any knowledge of what they are with me being a beginner at the time). I've got a lot of stuff to show you and [USER=44615]@paddyman98[/USER]. Once I do get much better at this, I want to send both of you a handpicked roll for being patient and helping me learn (along with a bright, shiny wheat that looks like it just came from the mint).[/QUOTE]
