On LIBERTY I see machine damage on the "I". But other than that I'm seeing a normal nice MS grade coin.

I'm having some issues with the pics. Not to say you are wrong Coop and thanks for the compliment on the coin by the way! I think there is either light dirt or something around God that isn't helping me distinguish whatever doubling is there as well as getting a good lighting atmosphere for the coin. I take a picture of one aspect of the coin and it gives a nasty shadow over something else that can give the interpretation of Machine Doubling. Yes I haven't ruled it out lol! I do think there is some interesting separation on a lot of the lettering I just need to play around with some different setups. On a side note, when looking at the pictures of the true 58DDO I thought the doubling looked kind of low and thought under the right circumstances could appear to be Machine Doubling. Of course I wouldn't know b/c there are only 2 and far away from me I imagine. I'll show a pic I took covering the date and Liberty. Hopefully helps but if not I'll find a way for a good one even if I have to borrow the neighbors tacky 9' inflatable snowman for lighting :-) |

OK I am not saying this proves anything. I just thought this inverted picture process was kind of useful before I get the lights hitting this coin like Mayweather to cancel out shadows and glare. I know this process picks up MD so I don't mind if you take the info lightly. I am not going to admit to this coin being THE coin but I do believe it is a pretty cool DDO as of now  |

I'm going to slowly try to piece this coin together through each part of what I think is doubling. The shininess of the coin doesn't help me one bit. Here is the date which I think shows doubling similar to the DDO |

Trying to get everything in the pic is hard :-( I'm going to look up the die markers and if I think it is worth the risk I'll certify it or see about a knowledgeable contribution, if it isn't listed. Coneca has a spot for a DDO 002 but nothing has been attributed I assume. Anyway, here is another attempt...I know I am no Ansel Adams but this coin is tough in my opinion.  |

Face doubling on the outside of the bust is usually always machine damage.

Are you just working on the quality of your pictures? or do you still think it's a doubled die?

I would say I am both working on my pics and still believe this coin to be a DDO. I was trying to get a decent pic that shows some separation on the R in trust. Not picture perfect but I thought it was worthy. If the coin is something noteworthy, I won't let my crude pictures be the only documentation found on such a thing. I know I wouldn't want something like that done to me. So far I'm just focusing on a word or two at a time as not to blur or take away from what I believe to be doubling in other places. I'm hesitant to be too optimistic, considering the odds, but I am definitely happy with what I see on the coin. Of course my lackluster photos go with the saying "A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush". This is one of many reasons I will tinker with photography until I'm pleased with the results. I appreciate the interest Jasper! |
