Okay so I'm giving it another shot with the pictures. I'm not sure if they are clear enough and many I've tried over the last few days came out not so great lol, so I took the best ones out and posting those and saying my prayers! I looked at other 2015's and noticed much of the design is the same on all of them except this one you can see doubling of some sort mostly throughout the whole back of the coin, and some of the letters looks like they're triple (d and c) that I did not see on the others. Not sure what I'm seeing here. Any thoughts if this is just a Machine Doubling? Also I want to mention it's mostly just on the back of the coin. The front I really didn't notice anything different than the others.          |

A little more focus on your images would be a great help. The initials on the lower right and left would also be helpful.

Thank you Tweak800. These shiny ones seem
to be a bit of a challenge for me but I'm going to
keep trying till they can be better seen. I did find
though while trying to figure what was supposed
to be the normal for this coin they seemed to all looked
doubled died so it must be the design of these coins, well
that's my guess anyway, but this one has a little
extra here and there on the back of the coin that
really has my curiosity going. I just need to get
a good picture lol. I'll be back in a couple of day
hopefully with a better one.

You might try a diffuser to reduce glare. If your light source is strong, try a piece of white paper. (don't let it touch the light) If your light source is low, then try a plastic grocery bag to remove the glare. That will help remove reflection.

Thank you Coop. I had tried last night using a bag over the light and also a box hoping it would help with the glare. These are a few that came out. It seemed like it was to dark?    |

The images are getting better. There is an issue with either a double light (which is hand for full coin shots, but a distraction on micro photos. This can be block with a facial and tape to block the unwanted light direction.  Your first image show it strongest. So I added that one to my image files. Sometimes light from a window, or a room light will make this double light appearance. So place you hand around the coin (not touching the coin) to determine in what direction it is coming from and blow out that light direction. On my scope I use tape and pieces of computer paper in the directions that the unwanted light source can come from. Then I don't have to deal with it every time I take an image. Sometimes I even used a filled tube of coins to block out the glare. When taking micro images I try to limit the number devices to 3-5 per image. That way I can get a clearer shot of what I want to show. I prefer not to use 1 or two devices as they can show something that is too minor to capture. (often they use a higher power than a collector need to use. I've seen doubling on my scope, that even the camera does not show in an image. Then I realize it is too minor to collectable. (I may save these in a tube for later research as I may have missing something on them) I hope this helps. |

Thank you Coop I so much appreciate all your help. I read it after work tonight and tried using just the one light and had tissue over it. I think they may be to dark so I'll try again tomorrow, but I wanted to show you the ones I did tonight and get your opinion if you feel they're any better. The one thing I notice out of all these pictures regardless of angles and different lighting, it appears with the TES in states, and also the OF it looks like there is a different letter or something underneath them. Is it possible that it might be an error rather than doubling?       |
