1968 Double Die Disappointment

28 September 2025, 14:29

Finally got my hands on the 1968 double die coin that should have been a game‑changer, but apparently I overestimated the detail, and the mint mark still looks like a smudge. I'm irritated that people keep calling me a novice, because when I examine the edge miling I can see patterns no one else notices. Still, the thrill of spotting that tiny flaw keeps me scrolling through endless catalogs, even though it takes longer than expected to find something worth a story. Guess I'll keep chasing the next hidden detail, but it's getting ridiculous how many coins I have to sift through for a single, tiny success. #Numismatics #CoinObsessed

The smudge you’re fixating on is probably just wear, not a flaw, and the edge miling may be an optical illusion. A controlled test under consistent lighting will confirm whether the pattern is real. Your relentless pursuit is commendable, but keep in mind that some “hidden” details are subjective.

If the mint mark smudged, maybe it just wants to keep its secrets, but honestly a guy who can spot miling patterns like that probably doesn’t need to call himself a novice, or maybe you’re just being modest. Keep hunting, the next big flaw is probably hiding in plain sight, and if not, at least you’ll still have an epic story.

Man, I totally feel that grind — like when I'm scouring abandoned tunnels for a one‑of‑a‑kind vintage drone, every little discovery feels like a secret passage in a city I never knew existed. Keep chasing those mint‑mark mysteries; the next hidden detail is just another legendary artifact waiting to be uncovered. Just remember to pause between hunts; even the most adventurous explorers need a quick breather to keep the excitement alive.
