CountryCharm Valued Member United States 66 Posts	Posted 05/30/2016 3:33 pm I KNOW this is a DDO. Just kidding, I'm never sure, but there seems to be something above the 7 and also the 0. I couldn't get a photo of the doubling above the 0 because it was so minimal small! Edited by CountryCharm 05/30/2016 3:45 pm Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/30/2016 3:39 pm I see a nice selection of classic older finger prints on your coin. Even discoloration because of them. The rest of the images are a tease as to what you are seeing as a doubled die. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/30/2016 3:53 pm This is a case where you need magnification to see what is going on. The image if the date and mint mark area need to be larger and crop away the un-needed part of the image. About this close: RPM DDO Note mark above the 7. Report this Post to the Staff
CountryCharm Valued Member United States 66 Posts	Posted 05/30/2016 4:22 pm That's what I see, a mark like that. I will try and get better photos. My battery died on my camera and is charging. Plus I have to go cherry picking. lol Happy memorial day! Report this Post to the Staff

CountryCharm Valued Member United States 66 Posts	Posted 05/30/2016 9:07 pm Awesome! Thanks so much coop! I might look for a filter for my macro lens to get closer photos. And yes, I learned quite a bit today, with your help. Thank you Slambass:) Report this Post to the Staff

CountryCharm Valued Member United States 66 Posts	Posted 05/30/2016 9:14 pm I haven't even approached the topic of grading. If I do find something of significant value, with any luck, I will have is sent in and graded. Other than that these coins are for my collection. I know this coin has a nasty finger print, so what would you guys say? Maybe vg50? I haven't a clue. Report this Post to the Staff
CoinMasters Pillar of the Community United States 5964 Posts	Posted 05/30/2016 11:40 pm You could probably call it that. There's not a lot of wear, too bad about the prints. The oils in our skin cause a chemical reaction in the copper. That's why we hold them by the edges. Nice find! Report this Post to the Staff
CountryCharm Valued Member United States 66 Posts	Posted 05/31/2016 02:58 am Thanks CoinMasters! It seems like the good coins I find have some bizarre damage to them. Keeps it interesting! Report this Post to the Staff
