Not sure what causes this. The black arrows show the doubling of what the blue arrows are pointing at.

You appear to be paying to much attention to the minor details of your coins. If you will ease up and look for the more obvious errors you would probably enjoy the hobby more. even if a coin did have some minor error it more than likely would be too minor to bring a premium over face value anyway.this coin you have here looks to have been cleaned. don't ever clean a coin because even if it was a valuable one the cleaning would about ruin it.

I don't see anything on this coin but maybe some expert can tell you more than I can. I'm getting older every day and don't see as good as I once did.

I appreciate your advice. I'm new to dealing with "ERRORS AND VARIETIES" not numismatics. I used to only deal with Silver and Gold coins. Mostly Morgans but I wanted to do more than just make money. I'm enjoying what I do extremely. I make mistakes but I love to learn about the hobby and business I choose to partake in. I'm now passing down the coin collecting hobby to my son which makes him the 4th generation of coin collectors. He sits with me with our microscope and loves to find those little things that make a coin seem different than what it should be.

It's always good to talk to folks that likes to collect coins. I'm just like you about enjoying looking for error or variety coins. I think you would do better to not use the microscope and not go any higher than a 10X jewelers loupe. A microscope may cause you to see things that are not there. Anyway if you have to use a microscope to see something then in most cases it would be too minor to be worth keeping in a collection. Keep at it and good luck in your searches for some awesome coins. I have enjoyed this hobby for over 40 years and I'm always glad to help anyone I can if they need help with somerthing that I know about.
