Decaf94drew, What are you using to take coin photos with? You will need to put a filter over your light source. John1

It's a mini led microscope I can attach to my phone for the super close up. I'll have to take new pics with the light diffused in the am after work

Too close doesn't help. Sure it looks larger, but it is really not really helpful. If it is a minor issue less interest is shown in them. Case in point: Minnesota DDR's. There are listings for 176 of them. Anyone collecting these? Probably not. But they are listed. Hard to sell for this item.

Not trying to make big money just more or less contribute a new find to the community finished searching that roll found 10 total. I feel like if I could take better photos it would help a lot. They are extremely noticeable. Who knows maybe me and the dealer don't know what is what. However I'd risk 5 bucks for an attribution or a good lesson at least I'll know for sure. I'm just trying to soak up as much info and collect as much as I can

Doubling is remarkably similar to the one I looked at. Maybe an earlier die state before the die cracks formed? Quote: The Die Crack on the shield diverges from the top of the shield over the U instead of P That photo is way too blurry to see any crack there. But seeing a clear photo of the crack at that magnification would let us make a good comparison and give a definite answer.

Now that I figured a little better setup for Close ups I'll get better images of the die crack along the shield posted up after work

Here are the photos! Shield die crack ends above the U     No die crack on E  No die crack on skull  Less blurry images  This last one I put up has me stumped was this my loupe and phone doing some weird shenanigans while I was focusing on the doubling? Or is that what It actually looks like if it were to be properly photo'd Genuinely asking for help..

I would also like to note if I hadn't said before the area in question is strong enough that the three doubled spots can actually be seen with the naked eye.. No way in great detail without a loupe however they do stand out enough that tilting the coin in light will show the doubling well enough to would make you grab your loupe to double check you are seeing it correctly.

You're right, die crack is definitely not a match. It's a different die. Quote: This last one I put up has me stumped was this my loupe and phone doing some weird shenanigans while I was focusing on the doubling? Or is that what It actually looks like if it were to be properly photo'd Genuinely asking for help. I think what you're getting there is the reflection of the stripes on the very edge of the banner.

I was able to personally find an example of the one listed on variety vista to compare and it would seem the one you imaged and the one listen on their site have about the same spread.The coin this post is on is actually more visible doubled wise than both examples shown so far. I have 1 more different DDR with even stronger doubling(still not major but not small by any means either) I'm waiting for a response back on it for attribution right now. Just thought I'd share

And the plot thickens just found the DDR Tanman2001 imaged and there are bigger DDRs out there this year... I might post images of the varieties I have after I decide what to do with them if anyone even cares

angle of the camera, light reflection obscures it giving you an impression of there is doubling!?. If there is anything, tiny die crack, No doubling!.
