There is quite a bit of Machine Doubling, but ignoring that, the left stem of the Y is much more thick than the right. Report this Post to the Staff

Maybe some paper or a couple coffee filters. The glare is making it looked doubled more than it is. Maybe a full pic and close up of IGWT also Edited by Kloccwork419 01/15/2021 1:14 pm Report this Post to the Staff
SilverCents Pillar of the Community United States 3281 Posts	Posted 01/15/2021 1:39 pm So do I, the shield cents are by far one of the most trickiest doubled dies to identify. That's a brilliant idea, thank you for the advice, I'll make sure to do that tomorrow as it's getting rather later where I am right now. Report this Post to the Staff
SilverCents Pillar of the Community United States 3281 Posts	Posted 01/16/2021 10:36 am Alright as requested here we go. I disabled the auto whiting and used a different surface. Yet there still seems to be just as much, if not more glare. I like the auto whiting because it allows MD it be much for easily identified. I really need a new microscope.

Ill see if I can find a match Your best bet is checking markers on Wexlers site http://doubleddie.com/1808804.html Edited by Kloccwork419 01/16/2021 10:52 am Report this Post to the Staff
SilverCents Pillar of the Community United States 3281 Posts	Posted 01/16/2021 10:57 am Oh! My gosh I'm sorry I misunderstood. Well, I can't exactly but a coffee filter or any other cloth over the light source, as that blocks the camera, as they're built into the microscope together. I can turn down the brightness of the light if that would help? Let me know if this is any better: EDIT: And fair enough, I'll try that on my own time. Sadly the WDDO-006 doesn't have any die markers but I'll check the others. Edited by SilverCents 01/16/2021 10:59 am Report this Post to the Staff
