AdamN New Member United States 35 Posts	Posted 07/03/2015 1:42 pm I simply went to the bank and bought coin rolls for fun, found this in the batch. Do any of you think this is in fact a double die? Much appreciated, Adam = ) UPDATE: My camera is crap = ( but I did get another shot. Hope this helps a bit. EDIT: added date pic with color enhancement.

TheGoodGuys Valued Member United States 51 Posts	Posted 07/03/2015 1:44 pm The date looks thick but it is hard to say, try and focus your camera through a loop on the date and get it as clear as possible. Use a stack of books or magazines to get a set focal length for the camera Report this Post to the Staff
AdamN New Member United States 35 Posts	Posted 07/03/2015 2:14 pm Should I scan it? I am unable to get a closeup with the date. I added another pic in my original post. Edited by AdamN 07/03/2015 2:23 pm Report this Post to the Staff

rayof315 Valued Member United States 241 Posts	Posted 07/04/2015 10:10 pm I found that the stack of books idea works great, especially if your cell phone has zooming in capacity. Report this Post to the Staff
