rmsexauer Valued Member United States 234 Posts	Posted 05/05/2017 2:39 pm Ok, Here is the 1943 Steel Wheat penny that I found in my lot of steelies.. this one I am sure is a DDO .. but am having trouble identifying its number..It looks like the WDDO - 034 but does not show the extra lettering below the B or the E of liberty.. on mine the left arm of the extra Y comes out west of the primary opposed to east in the listed one.. any suggestions or opinions on this one? Also is the doubling around Lincoln's head common in this series? I see it on almost every one in my lot..looks like MD on every one..? Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 05/05/2017 3:15 pm Going by the TY only,I don't think your coin is 019. When posting pics of your coin it's best if you can match the shots on whatever website you are using as a reference. It may be me,but your pics look a bit out of focus. What is your pic taking set up? John1 Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/05/2017 4:01 pm This is 1943 WDDO-019. The die state is earlier than the example John Wexler has posted. I bet John would like to see your coin because of the earlier die state. Did you check also on the ear as well? I bet you missed that on this one: http://doubleddie.com/395701.html WDDO-019 ear/eye & tie. Take a look. Here is a larger image of the LIBERTY on 1943 1c DDO-022 from Variety Vista: The doubling is on the wrong side of the 'Y', so it is not this one.

rmsexauer Valued Member United States 234 Posts	Posted 05/05/2017 11:59 pm Thank you Chase.. I did see some doubling on Lincoln's tie on this one but to me it looks like MD .. as well as some on the date.. I do not see the doubling of the eye.. here are some additional photos.. I am trying to work out the blurry photo issue.. no matter what adjustment I try it is either blurry on the left side of my images or on the right side.. I have to choose.. going to have to search online for an answer.. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/06/2017 1:07 pm Looking at these new images, I feel it is not WDDO-019. So it maybe a new die number. Something you might want to submit when you get a couple more coins. Keep it safe for now and mark it to be sent in sometime in the future. When you get you photo skill down a bit more, then take a new set of images. Send in the best shots and John should be able to see if it is listed or needs to be submitted?

rmsexauer Valued Member United States 234 Posts	Posted 05/06/2017 1:21 pm Sounds like a plan to me.. in order to have an error graded doesn't it need to be attributed/recognized.. so whether it is or isn't does it need to be inspected and given a listing number before NGC will grade it?

rmsexauer Valued Member United States 234 Posts	Posted 05/06/2017 5:43 pm John, Coop or anyone else.. I am looking for a little more help with fixing my photo issue.. I did figure out that I had too many light sources in my photos which was easily corrected.. however I cannot fix the focus issue.. I have adjusted every setting my program provides to try to fix it.. I have tried defaults on everything and also just randomly adjusting every setting.. for some reason I can only focus on one side of my view screen/image.. if I bring the left side into focus the right side goes out and vice versa .. anyone have any ideas? I'm assuming its the camera itself or one of its settings because when I view coins through the scope alone I have no issue bringing coins into complete focus across the entire view field..

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/06/2017 10:10 pm Most microscopes can have this issue. It seem the best focus on mine is on the right side and the left side can be a bit out of focus. The horizontal on the scope may out of alignment, but I know of no way to fix the issue so far. Everything on my scope is in a fixed position. Your images to be a different color. Does your light cause this? If can be edited with software. But it is best to get the color correct the first time. Are you using a plastic bag material to diffuse your light that is colored? If it is not white the light can transfer that color to the image. You might even experiment with a brown colored plastic bag to see if that enhances the copper color? Edited by coop 05/06/2017 10:32 pm Report this Post to the Staff
rmsexauer Valued Member United States 234 Posts	Posted 05/07/2017 04:13 am This is a steel cent not a copper.. they all appear bluish.. the LED light on the scope I think enhances the blue Report this Post to the Staff
Chase007 Pillar of the Community United States 7518 Posts	Posted 05/07/2017 11:02 am rmsexauer,LED lighting is not an easy one to work with on the scopes,as coop mentioned need practicing I suggest using different technique to reduce your light source,creating artificial filters to create an even and more spread out light from what you have,I have taped wax paper to create a layer over the LED lights to defuse it,just a suggestion.

rmsexauer Valued Member United States 234 Posts	Posted 05/07/2017 1:27 pm That sounds like a great idea.. will try that.. I am also looking into getting a different light source.. was never happy with this LED light ring.. Report this Post to the Staff
