Yorkish Valued Member United States 255 Posts	Posted 02/16/2021 4:42 pm Good afternoon CoinCommunity! My coinscope finally came in! So I've spent a good portion of the day rifling through my wheatie collection trying to figure out how this thing works, and I found this interesting coin. My suspicion is that it is MD, but I did notice that on all the the devices that it presents itself on, it seems to be offset in the same direction. I see the doubling mainly on the US of PLURIBUS, as well as UNUM, the O and E of ONE, and a slight spread on UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, as well as the left side of the right wheat ear. Please let me know what you all think! Please feel free to critique my photography if you have anything to say about it, I don't mind constructive criticism especially considering I'm a complete novice with a coinscope.

levelsofmadnes Pillar of the Community United States 3003 Posts	Posted 02/16/2021 5:47 pm looks more like Die Deterioration Doubling on the outer devices. your lighting for your scope is over powering. guessing your scope has multiple LEDs. recommend diffusing the LEDs or change to one external light source.... or a lower wattage bulb.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/16/2021 9:24 pm Just extreme die wear. They actually can get worse than that: Note the tops of the devices are now on the rim. The die flow on the fields looks like the Iowa roads in the spring when the frost goes out of the ground. (Glad I'm not there any more) Report this Post to the Staff
