canadacoinguy Valued Member Canada 146 Posts	Posted 12/23/2011 11:05 pm I was looking at a 1971 S tonight and noticed that it looks to have 2 or maybe even three strikes. Can anybody else help me out on this one? It could be MD I suppose but I thought that I'd better check before moving on. Thanks. It's kind of a crappy cropping job but it will give you an idea. Thanks everybody. Report this Post to the Staff

canadacoinguy Valued Member Canada 146 Posts	Posted 12/24/2011 07:43 am I think that one of the problems for me is lighting and getting a close and clear enough image to tell the difference between authentic die doubling and MD. The edges of the date serifs did not look flattened or shelf like under the lighting that I am using so it was hard to tell. Thank you both DrDon and Coppercoins for your help and Merry Christmas to you both. Report this Post to the Staff
