   Welcome to the NGC chat board.

   The "Coin Marketplace" forum is for buying, selling and trading coins, not for questions such as yours, which will receive the best attention if posted on the "Newbie Coin Collecting Questions" forum. I have asked the forum moderators to move this topic there.

   If you are a new collector, you should not submit coins to third-party grading services, which is quite costly and to be successful requires the submitter's having substantial knowledge of grading and, in this case, the attribution of die varieties such as doubled dies.  (Doubled dies are classified as die varieties, not mint errors.) The vast majority of coins that are posted on the forums said to exhibit "doubling" exhibit either none or have strike (a.k.a. machine or mechanical) doubling or die deterioration doubling, which have no market value and will not be attributed by NGC or other reputable grading services, who will nevertheless retain your grading, attribution and related fees.

   You should post, as separate new topics, clear, cropped photos of each side of each coin that you think exhibits "doubling", with closeups of the most prominently doubled areas. You may wish to review the following articles from reputable sources:
