coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/20/2017 12:19 am The coin was Machine doubled after the strike. Not a doubled die. The devices are not enlarged, but reduced from normal size. Report this Post to the Staff

Tootallious Rest in Peace United States 1559 Posts	Posted 11/20/2017 02:22 am with Coop. However, I see what appears to be a die crack or lamination issue on the reverse on the lower right corner of the memorial building Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 11/20/2017 04:57 am It is a die crack but in a common area. Just wanted to say you have great pics,what are you using? John1 Report this Post to the Staff
OldJoeClark Pillar of the Community United States 1260 Posts	Posted 11/20/2017 08:35 am Tootallious,as John1 said, it is a die crack but I was curious about the devices pictured. John1, I am using a 5MP Fujifilm F850EXR, point and shoot I've had a few years. It doesn't get real good pics on MM's most of the time but sometimes I luck out. Thanks to you both.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/20/2017 09:22 am The coin is a zincoln, so it wouldn't have a lamination issue. I see where the circulation has exposed the highest points on the planters. (showing gray there) there are die scratches under the base line. The left side shows MD under the base line. The right side is showing a die crack. (I didn't mention this before, as I'm seen so many die cracks through the years. They don't excite me any more. More of an later die state issue to me) Report this Post to the Staff
