My method? Simple.
Take a loop and try to see the doubling with my eye. When I spotted it, I hold the coin and the loop with 2 fingers while I play with my iPad to get the camera app open. Snap and upload. That is the only camera I have.

You might experiment with the lighting some.

HT - is there any way you can build a platform of about 3-4" out of books? Rest the iPad on the books and then use the zoom feature on the pad to crop a picture of the full ccin in focus. As CM notes, you might experiment with the lighting to reduce glare and shadows. For zooming through the loupe, you might try to build a smaller platform for that to trap the loupe between it and the pad or try to hold it freehand and snap the picture with the other.  |

I keep looking for a loup to take pics through, but I don't know which would work the best. Here is another picture. There appears to be notching on the bottom of the P as well.  |

Might be 017. Can you get a full shot of the reverse?

Stage B: light die crack between pillars 3 and 4 running south from the right side of the dome
Stage C: Die crack extends down to the S in CENTS
Can you see any cracks? The glare suggests the coin is worn smooth but you may be able to see the crack in hand.

If anything, I'd go with an RPM.

No, I don't see a crack, not even a trace of one.

It does appear that there is some notching. Does the coin have any markers or does it match any of the listings?

No, it doesn't match any of Brian's variety coins. But it does appear to match the RPM Rackster posted earlier.

I only see a couple that it might be, but this is the one I'd lean towards. 1942P RPM-017.
I hope you can ID it at some point. Nice circulation find HT!

Thank you very much Rackster! I actually bought a roll of War Nickels below spot. The dealer told me it would be around $38 but when he looked online for silver price, it came up as $34. Ended up paying $36 for the roll. Again, thank you! I will get there eventually. |
