Don't you find the O and F Fat. How do you determine DD MOS0239?
I can't understand?

This is an example from Blueridge.

This is what you should be looking for.

I don't really follow coin youtube videos.

That picture is not what is on my link posted. In fact it is advise that magnetism is needed. That picture is clear and strong and not the same as I highlighted in my post.
Therefore that picture could be not the real deal. Check my posted link.
What do you say ?

My friend, your picture looks like a drawing. See the close up of mine where magnetism is necessary.
See the upper right for the proof of doubling. The rotation. That picture you posted is misleading and looks like an artist impression. My picture is identical to the youtube video and all my letters are fat.

OH, I think you mean "Magnification" - On your last picture it looks like the E & the O have Machine Doubling - also known as MD. And don't rely on Youtube for your coin information - anybody can post anything on there - whether it be truthful or just a bunch of nonsense.

This is a picture of the coin from Couch Collectable.

This is another picture from Blueridge Silver hound.

My coin is exactly as described and highlighted in two unrelated coin youtubers.
They are real coins and not an artist impression.
Look again at my close up. You don't see doubling like illustrated by the two real coin posts of the youtubers ?

The images shared by Moso239 are the images of the variety you are referring to.

Those are the images from The Cherry Pickers Guide.

Here's a link to Variety Vista for the variety.
http://varietyvista.com/09b%20WQ%20...6PDDR001.htm

Check out the link and compare it with your coin. Very substantial doubling on lost devices.

hello ikuna

you have the coin in hand thus get a better view.

the problem is your coin picture does not look like the other coins or the one listed in the Cherry Pickers' Guide.

if you can upload a picture that captures the split serifs or line separations that would help a lot.

thanks

MD does not make a letter fat. The letters are fat but you my get the wrong impression by the close up. MD makes letters thin Sir. I disagree. It is not MD. The close up eliminates the fatness of the letters but you can now look at the thickness and realize that they are fat.
See the comparison.

hello ikuna,

thank you for the extra picture.

definitely not FS-801.

your coin has no split serifs on any of the letters (USA).

Thanks guys. Both videos on Youtube seems to have the coin looking closer to mine. Nevertheless I clearly see the difference in what you guys have highlighted as the true DD. I would still do more research. Thanks.

Youtube is misleading so in the future, I would cross reference with the Cherry Pickers Guide before posting unless I believe that I have discovered something new. Thanks again guys.
