I got most of the ones Charles listed in his roll thread, I started with the 70-S and am working through them. I also got a nice microscope from Coinoptics.com that really makes a difference looking at these. Report this Post to the Staff

Second one is definitely Machine Doubling. Very nice find there...I hope you get enough of them to make the search worthwhile! Report this Post to the Staff
adobero1 Valued Member United States 363 Posts	Posted 10/07/2007 11:03 pm Congratulations on a nice doubled die, Chrsb. Is that your first? I wondered if you wouldn't mind sharing what microscope you bought. I've been thinking of getting one too. I anyone else has any recommendations I'd be interested too. Thanks.

thingee Pillar of the Community United States 2177 Posts	Posted 10/08/2007 12:34 am I couldn't tell from the first pics if it was doubled or not. I was correct with the the second pic and got that one right. I too would like to know what type magnifier you got. Report this Post to the Staff
chrsb Pillar of the Community United States 936 Posts	Posted 10/08/2007 05:33 am Thanks guys! I will take some better pics of the first one when I get home from work today. This is my first DDO I found myself and did not pay for! Makes you feel a little better about it. I got my scope from here- http://www.coinoptics.com/order/cat4.html , I got the MP613. I am happy with it so far. I am regretting not getting one with variable magnification though. It is a lot easier then using a loupe and faster going through the rolls.

chrsb Pillar of the Community United States 936 Posts	Posted 10/08/2007 6:20 pm Here are some more photo's, I am a little frustrated that these pics do not come out nicer. Anyways I took the same shots that are on Coppercoins site for the 1970S-1DO-012 and none of the markers match, maybe this is another die state? Report this Post to the Staff
