Hoping some of the pros will chime in - at least anyone with experience with the 2006 DDR's. Just went through a couple OBW full date rolls of 2006P and found 3 different DDR's - this one is the most difficult to ID - I'm wondering if it is the result of a polished die or too minor to list; however there is doubling seen to the left of the statue (viewers right). I have about 8 with the exact same anomaly. Thanks in advance!   |

It looks like there is some proof marking in the first photo, but I am not an expert. Someone else probably knows what it is. Could we see a picture of the date?

Coinfan - not sure what "proof marking" is - . This is a business strike 2006P. I'll work on getting a couple pics from the obverse asap!
Thanks jlg!! Tried a new setup using an upside down salad bowl with a hole in the bottom for a diffuser/reflector/light "bowl" (haha). Still working on the extreme highlighted areas, hopefully will produce a better image for the coin's obverse.

Thanks Papatony; however I was looking for a couple hours straight on coppercoins, wexler's, and LCR and couldn't find a match for this type I guess I could send it in to see if it is a new variety - just know there are a lot for this year - the doubling IS very noticeable though - I took another image with the USB - shows how long the doubling is.  |

... no problem jlg... it's kinda just thrown together and not refined yet - I hate having to reposition the bowl everytime - kind of a pain - thinking of a design that I can slide the coins in and out without touching the bowl or having to refocus.  |

Cool!
You don't have to cover the bottom to make it black - I did this for a "DIY beauty dish" for my portrait photography, but ended up using it for coins.
