Did I find anything?

Hi guys, today was my first day really searching for varieties, got a new microscope and gave it a shot. Wondered if you could take a look at the pics and tell me if I found anything.

You discovered the curse of a good microscope. Everything looks like something.

I don't see anything outside of ordinary coins. Of course it would take different lighting and more straight on photos to tell for sure.

The difference from a loupe to a microscope is a world apart. The one thing to learn is that when viewing a coin, rotate it, so that the light will strike the surface of the coin from different angles. This is especially helpful in discovering notching in doubled die coins. Notching is the KEY in finding just about everything in error coins; RPM's, doubled dies and discerning such from the machine doubling and other forms of common doubling. Best of luck with your new "toy", may it bring you hours of enjoymet and discoveries.

Well Crud! I tried anyway. I agree that this micro makes everything look like something. But I will keep searching! I think I will concentrate my efforts into the more easily seen varieties, like the rpms that are very defined until I pick up more knowledge on the others.

Thanks for all the help!
