I set up outside to use natural light after the sun finally peeked out of the clouds, and I had a little table and a little chair with wheels on it. I was rolling around the table taking pictures to get different angles and lighting, boy they really think I am crazy now. Report this Post to the Staff

wrongalot Pillar of the Community United States 608 Posts	Posted 12/31/2007 07:31 am I am thinking the best way to do this is to do a detailed drawing of what I see under the loupe, and than take a picture of that. That may be my best shot at a good picture of this coin. I sure don't want to send it to be graded and attributed if it is nothing, I would really feel stupid if I spent money on nothing.

coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 12/31/2007 08:50 am The photos you are taking will do no good in attributing this coin. They are good as they are, but are useless in determining a minor doubled die, which it appears you most likely do not have. "sending it off to be graded" would be a waste of time and money no matter what the coin is if you're trying to get it in a holder as a doubled die. Nobody will holder that coin as a doubled die. Even if it is a doubled die, which I doubt, it is way too minor for any grading service to attribute as such. Report this Post to the Staff
wrongalot Pillar of the Community United States 608 Posts	Posted 12/31/2007 3:05 pm OK, well the pictures are hard to get, one minute you say 50% sure it has some doubling, next pictures you are sure it is not, you said possibly class 4 or class 8 earlier in posting, so ultimatly, as someone here already told me, it is what I see, since I am holding the coin. I really wish that I had a macro lens for this camera. Maybe someday...It is hard though, cause you all don't see what I see, and trying to get there is frustrating. Oh well...such is life.......

coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 12/31/2007 3:38 pm In that 50% I was also 50% sure it did NOT have doubling. Not only that, this isn't a minute to minute thing. You posted some pictures that looked like there could possibly be something going on, then you posted other pictures that show nothing. I also did say possibly class 4 or class 8, and that was ONLY if this was something...but it could not possibly be class 6 as someone else said. The most important thing I stated, that you are failing to see is that there is no way ANYONE can tell you what you have from photos alone. It is far too minor to identify from photos IF it happens to be hub doubling. And what you "have" meaning a normal coin, Machine Doubling, or a doubled die...any of the three. This is why I stick to short answers. I should have said the following in the first place: If it has any doubling, it's too minor to bother. Report this Post to the Staff
coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 12/31/2007 3:42 pm You can listen or not listen, doesn't matter to me. It's your money you're wasting if you pursue this coin as a doubled die. Nobody you would be sending the coin to for a holder would attribute it as a doubled die...thus in my book it's too minor to bother. I hate getting into long, protracted diatribe conversations about something so trivial. Go back and READ what I said, and you will see that I first said you can't take a photo that would show anything definitive, then I gave my reasoning only after being challenged.
