<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bhp3rd, post: 579115, member: 16510&quot;]I&#039;m thinking about some of the recent new members frustrations regarding finding true doublED dies or other die varieties.</p><p>It must be very hard indeed to find a coin, photo it, get your hopes up then only to have members tell you, &quot;you have nothing&quot;.</p><p>I can&#039;t recall getting that frustrated although it&#039;s certainly possible I did.</p><p>I think one of the hardest for me was Jefferson Nickels - I sent several to Wexler only to find out it was die deterioration, erosion doubling or something else - those Jeffs can fool you until you learn.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><b>One thing I think the new people are really missing is - it&#039;s more important to learn how they make, (made) dies than it is to understand how coins are struck.&nbsp; After all that where the doublED die come from!</b></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>3-things I want to stress to new people is,</p><p>1. We who comment generally really know what we are talking about.</p><p>2. If you keep learning you will also.</p><p>3. You will ultimately find doublED dies if you hang in there.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
