Or to say it differently the base of the D appears to be about 50% thicker (higher?) than the top. There is no sign of impact, and it looks pristine if you tilt the coin and look at it from a heavy slant, but dead on it is very skewed. The coin does not show any real damage or signs of abuse and I would call it AU. I can't get a good image of it at the slant where it looks right. Here are 2 shots of it with the coin flat. I'm not really asking anything here, just thought it was neat. * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Edited by jonnin 10/12/2019 12:39 am Report this Post to the Staff

I have a very hard time with doubling vs shadows and such and generally seeing the tiny edge doubling in most pics (I can see the big stuff). I think maybe the GO'D' doubling above is a casualty to my bad photography. I am slowly learning how to get better pics. I wish I could show it; if you tilt the coin top of JFK head toward and neck away the mint mark looks perfect. But I can't seem to get that angle in a pic, trying... if I get one I will post it. There is a small dent/ding just below the midpoint of the GO'D's curve. Edited by jonnin 10/12/2019 11:34 am Report this Post to the Staff
