2016 LSC WDDO-012 With Markers

Well PB you really through me for a loop. I had actually looked at your post before there we any responses, opened Wexler's to the page, but then Mom duties called me away. So when I came back and was reading through your post I thought either you're clairvoyant or I am loosing it (which could actually be the case) because I didn't remember responding at all. Then I read CM's post and then yours and I couldn't stop laughing for a few minutes. Since my knowledge is no where near CM's and since I still end up posting things I should know I'll consider myself lucky.

But, now to your post. I use to do what you are doing (growing pains I called them) I would be looking for all the die markers before I even had a confirmation on a Double and up until about 6 months ago I had more MD and Die Deterioration Doubling posts than I care to remember. coop set me straight on that because I ended up spending so much trying to get pics of all that stuff that missed the boat on the variety itself.

Anyways, I don't have the best equipment (meaning my USB scope and my eyes) so when it is a really minor double that I think I have then I started out with images like what I have posted here. It was always easier for me to first try and match my image to the Wexler image and then compare them side by side and just a couple devices at a time. It was much easier for me to see differences this way. It they looked good then I proceeded on but if not then on to the next.

What I am seeing is that the Wexler devices are much thicker than what I am seeing in your images. I can see some disparity in the Y where the antlers don't look proportional but that may be due to the glare?

Hope this wasn't too long and you may well be beyond these methods I used for such a long time.

Also note the inside of the 'R' upper loop area. Note how it is smaller because the device is wider vertically. That is what I look for when searching/view coin images posted here. Note how much small the inside area is on the side by side with your coin and the WDDO-012?

Go for it CM - You can do it

I was wondering the same coinmasters( I got it right again thank you ) . Maybe coincents will give us the secret. Coop it does seem a lot easier when it's not looking in a scope and then looking at wexlers and then the scope. Coop you also have great side by sides what do you use to do that .

I asked him one time, he said Photoshop 5.5 don't get the update version, it won't work without the full version. I never got it though, I'm thinking something simple as a side by side should be able to be done with standard tools on a computer. I don't know what they're called though. Unfortunately what little I know is self taught. I know things like copy and paste, but have no clue what cut is. lol

Oh, I see. Thanks Cwb. I just found an amazing coin. I'll have it on site in an hour or two. I'll feel better posting it before I identify it though. It's a new Strong Doubled Die not listed on Wexler's or CC.
