Numismat Pillar of the Community United States 1666 Posts	Posted 12/18/2008 12:38 pm Nice. That one would escape most eyes. Is it just the angle of the light or is there pronounced doubling in some of the denticles as well? Report this Post to the Staff
KurtS Pillar of the Community United States 5318 Posts	Posted 12/18/2008 12:49 pm You're right on the denticles--and the spread grows CW around the coin. It could be a double-hubbing, but I'm not familiar with how doubled denticles should look. Report this Post to the Staff
Numismat Pillar of the Community United States 1666 Posts	Posted 12/18/2008 2:54 pm The denticles do look more of a double-hub, since they have that flat "shelf" look and it is lined up with the original denticle. Are those little knobs above K, I and N connected to the letters or floating? It could possibly be a weak DDO, who really knows. =) Report this Post to the Staff
KurtS Pillar of the Community United States 5318 Posts	Posted 12/18/2008 3:05 pm Yes, my guess is the "knobs" are a DDO because it resembles features I see on Australian DDs, and I'm guessing they use a similar process. More of a curiosity in any case. Report this Post to the Staff
