Sorry guys. I'm having the worst time with lighting because the coin is sooo new. How do you add pictures in the comments? I got one of the liberty that looks like notching but I cant tell if it's just the lighting or not

No need to be sorry....our pictures were comic relief while waiting. Its hard to take pics of uncirculated coins. I still am no good at it. Try using one light source and maybe put something in front of the light to defuse it (nothing flammable :) From the extra thickness I see with the "Y" in Liberty I would say you have good chance you have a Doubled Die. I see something going on with the other letters but it is hard to tell if it is notching or lighting.

Jayman931: Have you tried a ramp. It is beneficial to direct the light into a scope. You just have to get the right angle to make the reflected into the ocular.

I have the light at 12:00 and the tallest side of the ramp at 6:00. You turn the coin and not the ramp. Works for me most of the time. Dark coins are harder though.
