shantiom Valued Member United States 159 Posts	Posted 10/29/2020 2:02 pm Please share the deductions, I have an idea, but want to understand if my logic is correct. Also, what is the focal point, and high points for the LWC for obverse and reverse? Edited by shantiom 10/30/2020 12:49 am Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 52226 Posts	Posted 10/29/2020 2:31 pm I'm wondering if these shots are picking up all the surface detail clearly. Report this Post to the Staff
jmkendall Pillar of the Community United States 1472 Posts	Posted 10/29/2020 2:40 pm My first thought was a 65/6. Good EDS, with normal spacing. But then I saw the chater on the lapel and it went down to a 64. STill a nice coing though and a bit above average strike for that year and mm Report this Post to the Staff
ijn1944 Pillar of the Community United States 2060 Posts	Posted 10/29/2020 2:55 pm Nice coin. Photos appear to be a bit oversaturated color-wise. A close-in, high resolution image of the mint mark might help us. Overall, I'm seeing a strong MS64. Important areas to consider are the integrity and sharpness of the wheat lines, any wear on obverse highpoints like the bow tie, Abe's cheek and jaw, and hair details--to name a few.

shantiom Valued Member United States 159 Posts	Posted 10/30/2020 12:48 am @ijn1944 Followed your suggestion and snapped macrophotos of various devices. I need help before I get too optimistic. As the MM here is common in a few rolls I have, suggesting to me this was a MASTER HUB issue? Also, LIBERTY, does it have doubling? In addition, after I did some close up photos, there are dark patched on the year. The photo was overexposed, working with Ray to get a 50 mm and diffuser to help me out. Would value your options? @coop how do we know if the vertical bars in the devices that look like threads, are doubling, or something else, what is that something else? @Coinfrog, can there be Machine Doubling a DDO, is this possible in the photos on the devices of LIBERTY I am sharing?

panzaldi Pillar of the Community United States 9447 Posts	Posted 10/30/2020 1:37 pm here are the high points for LWC where you will see wear first these are the key areas. the red areas are the most prominent where any marks would affect the grade the most. the orange areas would have less impact and marks in the green areas would be the least impact Report this Post to the Staff
shantiom Valued Member United States 159 Posts	Posted 10/30/2020 4:30 pm @panzaldi Very nice graphic and thank you for sharing. I trust if a search term like "nickel high points" etc, will provide legacy posts with such info. Alternatively, is there a quick post already from before accessible to those with interest?

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 47455 Posts	Posted 10/30/2020 7:54 pm The mintmark are is showing evidence of a damaged mintmark punch on the lower loop areas. It is seen on many dies even on the RPM listings they show, but that is not part of a RPM. But there is a mark on the upper serif that looks like it might be a part of a RPM or just a contact mark? The lower loop of the mintmark on the SE side is damage to that area. But still is a great coin. Richard S.

Tanman2001 Pillar of the Community United States 3054 Posts	Posted 10/30/2020 9:57 pm This doubling on LIBERTY is a doubled master die for the 1955 cents. Not seeing any clear die polishing on these coins. See here: http://www.error-ref.com/master-die-doubling/ Creator of http://www.CRDieVarieties.com Report this Post to the Staff
shantiom Valued Member United States 159 Posts	Posted 10/30/2020 10:08 pm That's why I love this place, the point counter point to reach some form of truth in a hobby dominated by subjective grading. Varieties appeals because there is a study and science to hypothesizing the root cause! Is there a master list or can one be created that identifies the master die doubling for ? Can that be it's own sticky thread ? 1955 cannot be the only one. Report this Post to the Staff
rmpsrpms Pillar of the Community United States 3294 Posts	Posted 10/30/2020 10:48 pm There are a few others. I've never seen a definitive list but maybe someone knows of one? Wexler's site talks about doubled master dies here: http://doubleddie.com/203801.html Contact me for photographic equipment or visit my home page at: http://macrocoins.com Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 47455 Posts	Posted 10/31/2020 12:04 am It is master die doubling. Never knew this are was affected, but not all dies are affected. I checked earlier, and most I saw were not affected. So, I went with devices reduced. But I was not aware. So you learn more each day. I can edit the previous images with the correct information.

shantiom Valued Member United States 159 Posts	Posted 10/31/2020 12:55 am Looked into a list, found data to create one, required some google dorking. Will have next week, stay tuned....LWC and LMC Report this Post to the Staff
panzaldi Pillar of the Community United States 9447 Posts	Posted 10/31/2020 10:56 am shantiom Quote: is there a quick post already from before accessible to those with interest? to see the high points just search for "us coin high points" and select IMAGES for the visual impairment severity that I posted I'm not sure where I got those. I copied them many years ago and did not note what site it came from. Report this Post to the Staff
