Moonshine Valued Member United States 258 Posts	Posted 07/15/2007 02:43 am Hi everyone, Been looking at this 53 and can't decide if it is a rpm, or Machine Doubling. Seem's it could be a DD west but, I don't see a inner curve What ya think? MOONSHINE Report this Post to the Staff

Vaslin Pillar of the Community United States 914 Posts	Posted 07/15/2007 2:14 pm Picture's too compressed, but Since the doubling looks flat and without characteristics of it's own, I'd have to say Machine Doubling. Report this Post to the Staff

Vaslin Pillar of the Community United States 914 Posts	Posted 07/15/2007 10:47 pm Well, I'm surprised CC! I'm not seeing the inner curve at all. I've got two of these that I just found this week, but this doesn't remind me of it. I still would like to see a better picture of it if you could Moonshine. Report this Post to the Staff
Moonshine Valued Member United States 258 Posts	Posted 07/16/2007 12:07 am Hi, Vaslin, The coin is pretty worn, so it wouldn't scan very good. I looked at a couple other 53 RPM'S I have, and they don't show the inner curve very well either! Here's another scan of the whole coin, but doesn't answer our question of the inner curve!!!

Vaslin Pillar of the Community United States 914 Posts	Posted 07/16/2007 11:17 am The first scan that you did was actually pretty good size, the only problem was the compression was too high. See if there is a setting on your camera to favor quality over size. Report this Post to the Staff
