Biedercoins Pillar of the Community United States 1602 Posts	Posted 05/14/2017 06:44 am Are those ALL the pictures you have? Seriously, the "we" is probably the most clearly doubled and I think thatmight be MD. I've been looking at it for an hour and still can't decide on that word. Need some fresh eyes. There are some small notches on other letters indicating DD. How long have you been after this? If this is verified as a double/double, in what sort of population is it ? What kind of scope/camara are you using. You've got good depth of field. Without that, a searcher might miss some of these subtler points.

BigSilver Pillar of the Community United States 2843 Posts	Posted 05/14/2017 07:33 am Nice pics. I beleive I see the markers for an accented hair variety. Considering the subtlety of the doubling, which I cannot really detect, I would think that the value in this coin will be coming from the AH more than the DD Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 05/14/2017 07:43 am Good pics,all gajillion . I see very very minor DDO. Not seeing a DDR. As a general rule though,if you need an electron scope to see it it isn't worth the trouble . Can't tell for sure about the AH. John1 Report this Post to the Staff

BigSilver Pillar of the Community United States 2843 Posts	Posted 05/14/2017 09:29 am If you could add a nice close up picture of the FG and the I of liberty that would help to identify id it is an accented hair. Report this Post to the Staff
durkastani Valued Member United States 452 Posts	Posted 05/14/2017 09:48 am MU1000 with an AmScope, but all the doubling was originally noted with a normal 16x hand magnifier. The scope is for the pictures. Report this Post to the Staff
durkastani Valued Member United States 452 Posts	Posted 05/14/2017 10:07 am Not AH unfortunately. Still haven't found one of those. Definitely not MD on the WE by the way. Trust me, I'm an expert at machine damage. Lol. Report this Post to the Staff

BigSilver Pillar of the Community United States 2843 Posts	Posted 05/14/2017 10:29 am Quote: Not AH unfortunately anyone else confused about this. The I is definitely not missing the serif, but the FG is. And the stars above the eagle in the reverse seem to match the AH. Of the 4 pickup points that I know of, 2 match, 1 does not and the hair, well I can never tell from there. I just usually look for the other 3. ? Report this Post to the Staff
durkastani Valued Member United States 452 Posts	Posted 05/14/2017 11:12 am It's not AH. From what I have seen, the stars are not a good marker for AH. As far as the FG, that is the flared G believe it or not. Edited by durkastani 05/14/2017 11:14 am Report this Post to the Staff
durkastani Valued Member United States 452 Posts	Posted 05/17/2017 1:16 pm I am incorrect about the G in FG it seems. D'oh. It's still not AH though lol. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/17/2017 2:02 pm It looks like a minor DDO. But how minor depends on how it looks at 10X. The 60X single device images do not help. It can turn a grain of sand into a mountain if you have too much magnification. It is best to use the 3-5 devices per image rule. That will show how minor it is or if it is a collectable. Not an accented hair coin. If the accented hair is not there, then the markers do not apply. First the variety, then the markers as a secondary confirmation for die state. It might be listed, but we need to see other images with several devices to see what is there. Note how if there is hub doubling present, a further view is better to see how much doubling is there.
