[QUOTE="non_cents, post: 1778922, member: 30970"]There are some great resources on the web that you can read up on in your spare time to pick up some of the lingo we use around here. :) The main thing we look for are called "doubled dies". The die is the rod that strikes the coin. A doubled die bears a double image of the design, so when it strikes the coin, there is a doubled image. In this particular thread, we are talking about an anomaly called "machine doubling" which is much more common and generally not worth a premium. Below I will list some good sites to visit if you are interested into getting intothe fascinating world of errors and varieties. Good luck and keep up the hunt!
