yontan Valued Member United States 292 Posts	Posted 04/10/2013 02:00 am Please check this image of the plur in E Pluribus Unum on a new Hawaii Volcanoes quarter. There is solid doubling in the L and U. It is not in the adjoining letters, and it is not shelf doubling, or Die Deterioration. So... what is it? I have attempted to take better pictures, but have two problems: In edit mode, though I press "upload image", it will not do it. The other I can tell you. I checked three other Hawaii quarters, and none have the doubling . Also, I can see that you are fooled by the light. There is absolutely no doubling, shelf, flat,machine or other. All of the quarters are struck perfectly. I am using a stereo microscope at 15 power. The ONLY doubling is in the areas that show very well - just above the bottom of the L and the U. It is hard to see that it is raised in 2 D. As I said, I have more pictures, but can't figure how to post them consistently. Should I just do it in a new topic?

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/10/2013 11:42 am I find this coin very interesting. If you could get more images rotated in normal view, I would like to see them. Also back off a little in power. The image is too close, but I think I see something in a different area. Also if you could take matching images of a normal coin that would help. A side by side image may be helpful. Report this Post to the Staff
