BJ Neff Pillar of the Community United States 526 Posts	Posted 08/11/2008 08:49 am From the pictures, it does look like a doubled die and a rather nice one at that. Understand that there is a bunch of 1989 obverse doubled dies and to put your finger on the exact die number, from a picture, is impossible. I would suggest that you get in contact with either James Wiles of CONECA, Bob Piazza of Coppercoins or John Wexler of NCADD and see if they will attribute this one for you.

coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 08/11/2008 12:08 pm I'm not so quick to say it's a doubled die. I would have to see the coin in person to tell whether it is, and if so, what die number it would be. Report this Post to the Staff
seattleMD Valued Member United States 405 Posts	Posted 08/11/2008 2:22 pm Sure looks like the result of a doubled die. While I don't see anything in the date, I do see what appears to be strong separation and notching in the RTY of LIBERTY and possibly something in the E of WE, but that could just be the lighting. The separation and notching in RTY is too strong to be the result of lighting. CC - what makes you doubt it? How else would you explain the effects on RTY? Report this Post to the Staff

While I see something there that looks like a doubled die, I know that using two lighting sources to take the photos can 'create' doubling where in fact it does not exist. Same holds true for using ring lights or any light with more than one directional source. The proper cast of light and shadow are necessary to effectively show doubling in images.
