Message:: [QUOTE="tommyc03, post: 3039607, member: 17665"][USER=36230]@BooksB4Coins[/USER] You explained above quite nicely my friend. What I can add, is that most of the minor doubled dies we are referring to occurred mostly from 1998-2006 on the insides of the columns, left and right of the statue with a few at the legs. There were others before that but are not as commonly found. The 1997 with doubling in the last bays is a very elusive coin and considered to be a more significant DD. And it's a very easy one to spot. I do not actually collect these per say, but gather them up and save only the best to sell on Ebay in lots of 20 coins, and very reasonably. No hype in my descriptions but just that they can be fun. Especially as James Porter has done with assembling a complete set of the 2009P Formative Years cent, one might just focus on 2005 which seems to have been the most prolific year for these minors. Researching these is a good lesson in patience. It would make for an interesting coin club project. There are plenty of these still in circulation in nice condition and that is where I have found most of mine. But as Chris has mentioned many times, they will never be worth a lot. But they will be a lot of work.[/QUOTE]
