I've been searching for error coins for about a year now. I never go by the fact that a coin looks doubled. All my coins are verified buy die markers. I use John wexler's website doubled die.

I've put stuff on eBay before but everybody is Leary of that site because there are so many fake doubled dies on there. I know it's probably impossible to

I can't say traveling to me will be worth your time. Hate to break it to you, but I don't think most serious dealers care a whole lot about minor "errors," which really are more about variations than errors. The 1955 double die, that is a dramatic error. There is one from 1972 that gets some credit. There are overdates that are prominent. But the craze in little subtleties among the letters in "E Pluribus Unum" and minor doubling will die down soon enough, it's probably peaking now. Here's a major tip for you: buy a numismatic flat-cinch stapler. You are using a regular stapler that leaves staples that stick up and one coin can scratch the next, even through a holder. Look, if you enjoy what you do, keep doing it. I  suggest you do some selling, you'll come to understand what things are worth and leave yourself with the best things and then you have a collection that's a good investment.
