I wanted to ask the board a ? about a possibility of a DDR and I am sorry that I am not yet displaying all the details of the coin, because I do not want to make a big deal out of it in case the answer is no. If yes, with my luck, very little chance, I will display all the details of the coin, unless the board tells me to display it first. thanks.  Edited by khasil

I kept looking at it for a very long and my opinion it's a 1966 DDR. Thanks. Anyone else please.    |

Is this one coin or two? I see different markers from two different coins on the first images?

A side by side of the coin you think is a DDR should be made with a normal one. Make sure to use the same angles of light direction, tilt and image sizes of both images. I'm glad you are showing the 3-6 devices per image. Some will zoom in on one and you have nothing to judge overall size of the devices. What made me ask the question about whether it was the same coin is this: In the first image it shows to fairly strong die gouges on the "T" on UNITED. The other images doesn't show this? But the overall shape of the devices look normal from what I can see. But a side by side might help? |

I was using number of different lenses to get the glare off, that is why the different pictures, but if you look at it in microscope or loop, not computer screen, you get very clear markings on "U", "N", "I", "T" ant a little less clear on "E", "D", but I am going to try again. Thank you.

wow...you clearly have better eyes that I do. everything you are pointing to seems to be on top of the devices. I am not seeing doubling. (that said - I am NOT one of the experts - whose opinions really matter.)

I should probably point to the top notch, bottom notch and the separation line, which, I think. I have all three. thanks.

 after looking for a few and turned away I see it clearly. I see in the S in states is that considered die fatigue or chatter? |

What I'm seeing on the last few images is machine damage on the right side of the devices. Kind of like the moving of metal on these images:    Even though it is not in the same direction, it is the same cause. Die movement during the strike. Note the "NIT" On UNITED in the next to last image above this thread. That is what I'm seeing. |

But the markings are not at the edge, they are almost in the middle. thanks.

Like on my images the metal is pushed back, but not all the way to the bottom of the device. Just moved on the upper part of the devices. When you look straight down on the coin it looks like it is in the center, but just pushed at the upper part.  Take a look in different directions and you will see this. Edited by coop
