Grelko Valued Member United States 232 Posts	Posted 09/23/2020 4:21 pm Looks like that might be a split serif on the top left of the mint mark. Would need a closer/more clear picture to be sure. Edited by Grelko 09/23/2020 4:22 pm Report this Post to the Staff
mb560600 Valued Member United States 365 Posts	Posted 09/23/2020 10:25 pm Can I have further help on this coin? I do not believe the doubled numbering on the date is due to "reflective lighting." I am only using one light source for the photos. For lighting, I am using no light other than what is emanating from my Plugable Microscope. I am providing additional magnification photos (see below) of the date, again with nothing other than light from the Plugable (the rest of the room is dark). The doubling of 1983 is undeniable. So, why is there doubling on the date of this penny? If this is not DDO then what is the explanation? Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff
Ty2020b Pillar of the Community United States 4680 Posts	Posted 09/23/2020 10:38 pm I'm not seeing any doubling at all. Directly down the center of the date, there is a dark line. This highest point is absorbing light. On either side of this, there is the reflection from whatever light source is being used, along the curve of the devices. There is no added thickness to this date. Sorry, not a DDO Report this Post to the Staff
