I think this is a legit DDR, (but obviously I could be wrong) and I was wondering if anyone had seen one like this before? Thanks, Mitch P.S. Check out those arrows!! even if it's nothing, I figured out how to do those "cool" black arrows,    |

I'd like to know too, also, I'm not sure if that is normal.You might want to make a side by side of a regualr coin with yours and then we could see what up

I can't get a comparison shot until Monday, but I used this pic from the reverse of a Philadelphia cent I saw on Wex's to compare it too. It was of some other kinda error, but I don't see a cross under the window. (If it's "illegal" to post a screen shot of a pic from Wexlers, someone tell me and I'll take it off) The program I use to downsize my pics (it's called Elements) had a draw function with arrows. Thanks!  |

I found a 2009 in my change bowl, and got some awesome pics with my iPhone. You can barely see the window, much less the space below it.  |

It's hard to tell from your picture, I think it shows the horizontal bar on your cross raised and the vertical bar incuse. If that's the case, I would think there's a good chance it's a Doubled Die with a vertical scratch on it. I say that because it's in an area on your coin where DD's occur often and it's parallel with the normal bar above it. Hopefully an expert will be able to help you with it.
Thanks for the info on the arrows.

I do comparison pics from COC, coppercoins and Wexler's. On each picture I use I say from which website it is from and who's picture it is. I believe on Wexlers it is always John Wexlers, on CC the photo credit is already part of the picture at the bottom, and on COC it says by each listing who's image it is. I believe this covers what coop instructed me do to. Wish I could help on your DDR on the 2009's I don't even try, my microscope just can't get a clear close up. Good luck though. |

We'll see what coop has to say about it. I'm gonna get a comparison up today.
I just think it has a little extra intrigue because it's from Denver, but it is a small detail for sure.

Looks like the window frame appears on the U.S. Mint image:  But I couldn't get the image large enough to see the window bottom casing. Maybe a few more images of these might show us more. (I've got some here someplace) Used some Of John Wexler's images. I bet he would list this one?  Edited by coop

^Agree. You have to be using a 10X loop to catch that. My eyes hurt looking at the blowup.

Is that how you scan your coins or are you just photographing them?
