Somthn witty Valued Member United States 55 Posts	Posted 09/22/2021 05:05 am It's obvious with the notching that it's a DDO. I wasn't sure what was going on until I saw it was attributed back in 2016. Give me some good news and tell me it's so! I am about 99 percent sure it's the 1972 D 50c DD0.

Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow. Report this Post to the Staff
Somthn witty Valued Member United States 55 Posts	Posted 09/22/2021 08:53 am Thank you, Petespockets55 & John1. I know my pictures need work. If it is the DDO-001 Should I get it graded? Also, where is a population list? PCGS doesn't grade this one. Again, pretty new to this and enjoying every second. Thank you so much for your help.

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 09/22/2021 09:18 am A coin needs a minimum retail value after slabbing of $150 to justify all costs involved in having it slabbed.I just checked ebay sold values and nothing comes close to $150. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/22/2021 12:06 pm The lighting angle is too low for your setup. It needs to be more more center of the coin to be helpful. Too low spot lights the sides of the devices. Also the light is too bright and needs to be diffused to help cut the glare. Rookie mistake to want to shine as bright on the area you want to show. But when this happens, you see it in your image, but the glare hides what you see. Top image is what you see, lower image shows that glare hides what you want us to see. Light is incorrect. Rather than spot light area, turn the coin to allow the light to fall across the devices. Report this Post to the Staff

atrox001 Valued Member United States 311 Posts	Posted 09/22/2021 7:43 pm Way to much reflection and glare in your photos. Your half dollar looks like MDD (Machine Damage Doubling), not a DDO. Report this Post to the Staff

Greasy Fingers Pillar of the Community United States 7049 Posts	Posted 09/22/2021 10:23 pm If you have a single light source, try covering it with a coffee filter or a piece of paper, that should cut down your glare....good luck Report this Post to the Staff
