BigKidsKollect Valued Member United States 78 Posts	Posted 02/04/2017 6:47 pm I'm using a Celestron handheld 10x-150x for these images. Please help clarify this image so I can learn what I need to look for. Thanks in advance... Report this Post to the Staff

CoinMasters Pillar of the Community United States 5964 Posts	Posted 02/04/2017 6:52 pm It's a worn die. The devices are reduced without the parts that resemble doubling. They go toward the rim - classic Die Deterioration. Edited by CoinMasters 02/04/2017 6:55 pm Report this Post to the Staff

BigKidsKollect Valued Member United States 78 Posts	Posted 02/04/2017 7:03 pm thank you...the actual look and microscope view really dont justify one another. do I need to change lighting or will these images just be common? Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/04/2017 10:59 pm Looks like a bit of MD and the worn dies. Note the tops of the 'GOD' devices. The tops of the devices are thinner than the bottoms. Not hub doubled. Report this Post to the Staff
CoinMasters Pillar of the Community United States 5964 Posts	Posted 02/04/2017 11:52 pm So when you say MD, you're saying the die jumped a little at the top of the devices? Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/05/2017 1:05 pm The die movement altered the tops of the devices on that area. On a different area the devices may be moved differently. Report this Post to the Staff
