westcoin I had decided to purchase the coin from my friend.
I've looked at the site that you referred and there was a reference to a ghost image on a wheat backed penny. However on my coin the ghost image is tilted possibly 20 to 30 degrees so that the base of the left side of the memorial is in approximately a little past the 2 o'clock position. There was also a reference to a DDO but the " DDO (?)" on the coin in question is nowhere as close as the image on the reference site.
If this is a DDO (it's the first one I've seen) is new to me visually in hand. So the question that I have, is if it is a DDO would the entire coin be visually rotated?
When I get the coin in hand, I will be bringing it to a couple of different lcs to get their opinion on what exactly I have.
I'm going out to dinner tomorrow night (actually this evening by time) as I'm going to ask him to take a picture of the coin for posting here.
To put it bluntly neither him nor I have ever seen something like this. The coin is in a 2 x 2 and what I described was what I saw in hand through the viewing port.
Should I take the coin out of the holder when I am taking pictures?
I've never attempted this sort of thing before, so it will most likely be awhile before I have them on this site.
There is just so much going on with this coin that I feel that I'm seeing double. That's why I want to bring the coin to these two coin shops. Yet I feel that I'm putting the cart in front of the horse.
