Pictures taken at x10 magnification, and you can see the layering in front of the indians neck and chin. Under a microscope the layers are easily seen, as in last picture. What are your thoughts?

GrapeCollects Pillar of the Community United States 8941 Posts	Posted 09/12/2019 06:13 am Because the Indian is incuse, Machine Doubling enlarges devices instead of shrinking them. So on this coin, if it was a doubled die, it's devices would be smaller not larger Report this Post to the Staff
