merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 02/06/2020 12:08 am I am not saying it isn't there, but I don't see what you might be seeing. I know from experience working with MS cents, glare can make you see all sorts of things that isn't there. Maybe some Machine Doubling in the motto? Report this Post to the Staff

JohnWayne007 Pillar of the Community Canada 1186 Posts	Posted 02/06/2020 1:56 pm For the 1984 cents, or really any shiny MS like this I find if you can get really close to the lettering on somewhat of an angle it will bypass all the glare and help you see the letters better and any possible split serifs or notching. Anything micro like that normally isn't worth much, but in my opinion this looks like a normal 1984 cent, all the devices seem to be the right size and nothing is enlarged.

th3ogr3 Valued Member United States 56 Posts	Posted 02/06/2020 4:39 pm Thanks much for the assistance. Here's a pic of the date that's a bit better on lighting. Still playing with my new USB microscope setup trying to find that sweet spot on lighting. Certainly isn't as simple as it seems it should be. Would this be considered Strike Doubling?

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/06/2020 4:58 pm You should only use one light source. It makes it look like doubling, when it is not. One light source is best for micro photos. Also too much glare. Too light reflective defeats what your trying to show. Inverted images help to see what glare is hiding. Too much light causes glare. Also two undiffused light sources enlarges both sides of the devices with glare. Edited by coop 02/06/2020 5:52 pm Report this Post to the Staff
th3ogr3 Valued Member United States 56 Posts	Posted 02/06/2020 5:09 pm Thank you much for your feedback. This was taken with a single light source (the led light source built into the scope) using a digital filter. I'll look at my setup and see if I can figure out a better way to diffuse the light, but in this picture I can clearly see a thin raised device in the center of the letters and clear doubling inside and outside of it. I have looked at multiple other 1984-P pennies I have and this one definitely has different strike characteristics. Report this Post to the Staff
