coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/20/2016 2:32 pm Just one that looked like that? Or were there a percentage of these in that bag? There is a lot of glare on the image. So it you could rotate the coin to get the light at a different angle (not place the light on the area in question, but let it fall over the area in question) that would be helpful to see if the edge is rounded or flat?

comdewah New Member United States 41 Posts	Posted 02/20/2016 3:32 pm Got about 8+ in the bag like this and 3 other bags to search. The magnifier I have would be better in the garbage but I'll try to get better pics. Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff
Slamnbass Pillar of the Community United States 3644 Posts	Posted 02/20/2016 5:03 pm Yea try some other light angles-to me it looks like it has potential? I'll be (no definitive start or ending to the doubling,does not look shelf like and blends with and looks just like the original device but again lighting could be playing tricks) Edited by Slamnbass 02/20/2016 5:14 pm Report this Post to the Staff

If you suspect a second light source, (room light or daylight through a window) tape a curtain with Kleenex to block the direction of the unwanted light. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/23/2016 01:00 am Looks like a proof nickel nickel with some flat field doubling. This may have caused the look of a doubled die with the second light source. But it looks pretty normal with the better image. Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff
