I cross referenced 8 sights and die scratched match strike through on reverse match. Slight damage to the holder due to getting stuck under the seat of a car and got damaged pulling it free. I didn't want any cracks to let air into it so I clear nail polished it quick. I think my coin might have been at an earlier stage or something. The RUS is not as dramatic as yours. Just wondering if they will drop the grade if reholdering it with PCGS? This is my second year with PCGS and they kinda did me wrong last go around. Anyways that's for another topic.

Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6630 Posts	Posted 03/19/2026 12:26 pm My immediate reaction was that the doubling on IGWT is Die Deterioration Doubling. I don't see the parallel scratch marker through the dot, either. However, it's hard to tell if the scope images are angled or perpendicular, and the pixelization from the scope and phone camera make it harder to distinguish tiny details. Maybe some images from the scope at a right angle and uploaded directly might allow a better diagnosis. http://varietyvista.com/06%20Mercur...1PDDO002.htm https://doubleddie.com/1480714.html https://www.pcgs.com/coinfacts/coin...mages/145459 Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 99623 Posts	Posted 03/19/2026 4:16 pm Not an FS-101 - the doubing is in a slightly different location And I would say that yours is DDD ( Die Deterioration Doubling) Collecting since 1972.
