It may show clearly in hand, but it definitely does not show in the pictures. When I try to enlarge them, they get blurry. I can't see anything clearly.

Again I think you are confusing raised metal on the tops of letters and numbers for doubling. I would focus on finding something already known, learning to compare with a known example, etc. It's not to say that you can't find something new, but it's a _long_ road from discovery to "value". I think I've said this before.

I concur.  When you're new to coin collecting and it's especially due to error & variety hunting the idea that every coin has a potential error or variety can be front of mind.  But the time investment to diagnose each coin on only potential will outweigh the actual benefits.  My suggestion, and what I employed myself in that phase, is to make a list of years & mint marks in a series with known varieties.  That way when you're coin roll hunting you can eliminate a great deal of the population and focus in on coins where you'd have pictures available to compare against.  Make one pass just separating them out, a second pass to organize by date (or do it when separating), and a third to look for the known diagnostics on each.  Production work first then knowledge work is most efficient.

If you've played video games it's akin to maximizing your grind.  So looking intently at 250 nickels out of a box for 30 minutes instead of all 2000 will allow you to churn through more boxes in a shorter timeframe.
