coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/02/2008 6:03 pm The third image raises a red flag with me. Note the mint mark and the direction of the Machine Doubling. The direction of the doubling appears to be in the same direction. Not saying it isn't/is. Just raises a red flag to me. The doubling appears minor, so I'm unsure right now.

seattleMD Valued Member United States 405 Posts	Posted 07/02/2008 6:06 pm I see what you're saying coop - ill try taking an oblique shot of the doubling on the 7 to show whether it is flat or not. Report this Post to the Staff
foundinrolls Pillar of the Community United States 3507 Posts	Posted 07/02/2008 11:35 pm Hi Guys, I See 8 notches on the word TRUST alone:-) The last one has a nice notch at the top too. Keep in mind that Machine Doubling can happen on any coin and does happen on coins that are struck by doubled dies. Have Fun, Bill Edited by foundinrolls 07/03/2008 1:22 pm Report this Post to the Staff
coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 07/03/2008 12:08 pm I see nothing. Using lighting that comes from multiple directions is confusing when trying to produce the shadows required to see hub doubling, especially minor hub doubling. The images do not show notching in my opinion - they show what lighting from different directions can look like at the corner of a beveled edge...namely the lettering. Change the lighting so that it comes only from one direction, turn the coin so that the lighting catches the notches at the corners of the lettes, then take the images again. That would show one way or the other whether this is a doubled die Report this Post to the Staff
seattleMD Valued Member United States 405 Posts	Posted 07/03/2008 12:28 pm CC - this is from a LED lighted microscope directly on top of and touching the surface of the coin. The only light reaching the coin is coming from the LEDs in the lighted microscope. Is the fact that the microscope uses multiple LEDs (about 5-6 spaced evenly around the circumference of the viewing eye) causing the multiple lighting issue you are noting? If so, I don't think there's anything I can do because when I get the microscope this close, no other light can really penetrate. I'll see what I can do when I get home though...

foundinrolls Pillar of the Community United States 3507 Posts	Posted 07/03/2008 1:25 pm Chuck, When I get back later, I'll point out the notches and grooves on the word TRUST and the last 1 in the date. It has nothing to do with the lighting in this case although the lighting could be better. The stuff is there:-) It's a DDO. Thanks, Bill Report this Post to the Staff
