1972-D LMC Doubled Die Obverse - WDDO-004

What works for better image is light and shadows. A single light source is better as it lets the light fall over the devices instead of spotlighting or flowing the images with light. With the light turned down the images are better. Is the light source hot to the touch? Of not, you would block off some of the lights with dark tape. But if it is hot this won't work it would just melt the tape. My scope I had a light system, that lasted for one day until I realized it wasn't going to work. I removed and added something that works better for my purpose.

You just have to try different things until you find what works better. But for now the dimmer amount of the is better than what you were using before.

Mintmark position and slight tilt clockwise place it as DDO-001. Diagonal die scratch through right leg of R in LIBERTY verifies it. Die state is pretty much MDS, die clash just barely visible around Y of LIBERTY, and mushiness of IN put it at stage C. The DDO-001 part one can be sure of from your images, the stage C part is a bit more arbitrary but seemed right.

It's a nice find and congrats!
