John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 01/02/2009 11:05 am Found this last week,my nephew took the photos and he is getting better at it every time don't you think? It looks like a class 6 DDO to me ,what do you all think? Pay close attention to the photo of the mint mark. Thanks much, John1 Report this Post to the Staff

coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 01/02/2009 1:30 pm I don't see any extra thickness on this coin...additionally, class 6 doubled dies are impossible on a single squeeze press. Those haven't been made since 1996. The darker lines you are seeing on the rdge line are a combination of lighting and stacking rub or coin wear. Report this Post to the Staff
GoBotRocker New Member United States 39 Posts	Posted 01/02/2009 1:42 pm Hey John, I haven't seen any of your previous photos but, his close-up shots are great. As for the DDO I'm not yet skilled enough to know either way. But I do suspect that as both the date and the mint mark exhibit a similar doubling that it may not be a genuine DDO. That said I look forward to reading other's take on the coin. Happy Hunting Scott Report this Post to the Staff
ziggy9 Valued Member United States 499 Posts	Posted 01/02/2009 2:42 pm GoBotRocker The Hand punched mint marks ended in 1989 so doubling on the date would most likely also show on the mint mark after then. just for your info richard Report this Post to the Staff

JP324 Valued Member United States 73 Posts	Posted 01/03/2009 10:44 pm Hey Guys, I'm John1's nephew. I use a digital microscope with 8 onboard LED's, with the exposure time set at about 40 and then I had to use 2 more remote (offboard) filtered LED's to get rid of most but not all those pesky little shadows.

Podoprigora Pillar of the Community United States 588 Posts	Posted 01/04/2009 8:27 pm i have to know how you put a background like that on a picture. Q#2 do you crop after you uploaded a coin to the computer or right on a camera. Thank you Report this Post to the Staff
JP324 Valued Member United States 73 Posts	Posted 01/05/2009 6:03 pm podoprigora, That's just the mat that I use to take my pics. No cropping involved. Thanks, Jay Report this Post to the Staff
