<p>[QUOTE="robwv73, post: 3527111, member: 99604"]ive only been collecting coins for about a year .had trouble trying to figure out doubled dies. Every time i thought I had em figured out you experts would prove me wrong.Not mentioning no names [COUGH} PADDYMAN. lol. but you was right .the other day i thought 4 sure i had an 1982 Zinc ddr. i looked at that and looked at it and just couldnt understand how it couldnt be.Well last night i was i found a very nice 1981 ddo cent. i had and when i went to look it up it was only showing that the 1 and 9 was only doubled.Man here we go again,i thought the whole obverse was doubled.i kept looking at the !9 then everything else and after a couple hours of that i finally seen something and a light bulb went off. i went and got my daughters play -doh .( dont Laugh},but i made me 2 ones and 2 nines. shifted one down from the other and then pressed them together and it looked like what i was seeing on that 81 cent .i could see their meeting points with each other after going on a variety site for an hour and doing this with different kinds of doubling i quit .(only because my 5 year old wanted her play -doh back. went and started looking at various doubled dies and what i was unable to see before in hours was only taking seconds.even the old smashed and wore out wheat pennies that i never could figure out how some people could see doubling.well i went and got this ugly 1969s i looked at a year ago and thought no way this could be a ddo. put it in a storage bin and tucked away .let me know what you think .dont go on first glance i hope im right cause if im not .i need to find a new hobby. maybe something in pottery.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
