I was wondering about the reverse of this coin and the ghost doubling its showing. The black arrows point at the ghost doubling of the letters I can barely tell without taking a picture of it. The blue points at the doubling around the letter. When you look at it through a loupe its just a very thin line. Finally the red arrow points at the rim. Is the rim some sort of doubling like the rest or a fin or railroad rim. Is the doubling just considered DDR because it almost looks like damage to the naked eye?    Edited by Rigs0880

@john1 wow so you see none of the ghost doubling I mentioned. Second picture doesn't have a fingerprint but fair enough. Thanks.

This looks to be an impaired proof. I think those are just surface abrasions.

Sorry, but with the picture provided, I see reflection doubling and surface marks/damage places in convenient positions to make you think its doubled letters.
If you think this is incorrect, better pictures would be needed so we can see what you are asking about.

Second picture doesn't have a fingerprint 2nd picture has 2 or 3 finger prints. Your middle black arrows are pointing right to one of them. There is something in the fields but can't tell what it is, but I do see the MD coop pointed out.

Rothery beat me to it. Fingerprints are obvious. If you didn't create the fingerprints, you should return.  ça va bien aller

Did not know fingerprints were such a huge deal. Now I know.

Almost nothing will destroy numismatic value quicker than fingerprints. And they're so easily avoidable when handling coins by wearing cotton gloves (available anywhere hobby supplies are sold). ça va bien aller

@merclover thanks for that I will go get some I admit I was overlooking that but now that I'm more serious about this and touching pricier coins I will get some. I got 20 Peace dollars heading my way ms 60 to 63 last thing I want is to leave fingerprints on them. |

@Rigs0880 If there were fresh fingerprints - bathing the coin with 99% alcohol or chemically clean acetone might fix the issue.
Both liquids doesn't react with metal but are able to dissolve organic fats. Just put the coin in a glass jar with lid and let it be there covered with liquid for a couple of minutes. Then check the results.
I strongly advise to have a glass covered cause you might not like the smell, especially acetone :)
One more thing - before bathing the coin make sure that acetone doesn't contain any additions except acetone itself. Less effective but less smelly might be isopropyl alcohol. They normally sell it in electronic supply's stores for cleaning contacts or parts before soldering.
Offtopic - how can I tag an exact user I'm replying to? please help! :) adding a "@" before nickname doesn't fix the issue.
