Agrippa Pillar of the Community United States 663 Posts	Posted 12/08/2015 02:03 am This coin is really starting to drive me nuts! I don't see any listing for a DDO that looks like this one (which of course makes me suspicious of my DDO diagnosis), but I swear I am seeing something and it doesn't look like the typical MD. The coin is in good shape and so getting good pictures without glare is hard. That is especially true of the motto where the shiny quality of the coin and the curve of the outer edge is really messing with my ability to get good pictures. I marked up a couple of the pictures to help direct your eye to the areas I am seeing extra lines/doubling. There are similar lines that are also running up the sides of the "U", the top and the leg of the "R", and the top and middle of the "S" in trust, like the lines you see at the bottom of the "6" and "2", but to get the lighting right for a picture is nearly impossible (which I know is also not a good sign). Anyway.....what do you think? Edited by Agrippa 12/08/2015 02:04 am Report this Post to the Staff

tapapple65 Pillar of the Community United States 538 Posts	Posted 12/08/2015 07:31 am My thoughts when I looked at your coin would be die deteriation . In your first close up it looks to me to have a weakly struck extra mintmark to the north. Might be my eyes playing tricks on me. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/08/2015 09:21 am It looks like very light MD on some devices. The overall shape of the devices appear as normal in size. On the motto the devices are flowing to the rim showing its die wear. But I don't see any hub doubling on this coin. On the hub doubled examples the devices are enlarged. On your coin the devices look altered a bit during/after the strike. The affect reduces the size of the devices slightly. Report this Post to the Staff
