Papadoc75 Valued Member United States 441 Posts	Posted 03/27/2017 10:41 pm Hey all, Just looking for some verification whether this is an example MD or not. I'm seeing the shelf like appearance, but it's always nice to hear what the experts have to say. Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff

Halo1st Pillar of the Community United States 2775 Posts	Posted 03/27/2017 11:50 pm The first two images are nice example of what boggles my minds eye. I see things in reverse when it come to depth perception while viewing the images. The other images seem to show MD. Slight MAD as well on the obverse. Thanks, Doug.

Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 03/28/2017 12:08 am Halo1st, I get that too sometimes, wear glasses per chance? I'll get a reverse incuse image when looking through a microscope at times, have to back up and start over, like the brain is scrambled...wonder if it has something to do with lenses in glasses and image on screen, two different lenses in use. Either that or,...my screen name! The upper is MD, lower is worn die Report this Post to the Staff

spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 03/28/2017 12:49 am It looks like classic MD on the reverse and, as Halo1st pointed out, the obverse is a little MAD.

Papadoc75 Valued Member United States 441 Posts	Posted 03/28/2017 05:53 am Thanks for the input guys! It's funny you mention the incuse lettering thing Halo1st and Crazyb0. I get that all the time, and I don't wear glasses. It always seems to occur for me when I use additional light ie. flashlight to the northeast side of the coin.I also use a couple types of microscopes. No clue as to why. Maybe it had to do with the way the light is refracting off the lens. But thank you for letting me know I'm not alone. Edited by Papadoc75 03/28/2017 06:20 am Report this Post to the Staff
