gsp193 Pillar of the Community United States 975 Posts	Posted 12/12/2021 01:46 am I belive this is DDO-004. It is still sealed in the case it came in, 1 of 5 brown case silver Ikes. Thanks in advance http://varietyvista.com/13%20Eisenh...2SDDO004.htm Edited by gsp193 12/12/2021 01:50 am Report this Post to the Staff

levelsofmadnes Pillar of the Community United States 3003 Posts	Posted 12/12/2021 06:15 am ok.. looks more like DDO-003 and that is my final answer(guess) Report this Post to the Staff
gsp193 Pillar of the Community United States 975 Posts	Posted 12/12/2021 09:09 am Thanks levelsofmadness I had a hard time with pics trying to get good ones through the case. I thought it looked like DDO-003 too except this is a proof and not business strike so I dont know! Thanks for looking! Report this Post to the Staff

Bumpkin Pillar of the Community United States 509 Posts	Posted 12/12/2021 12:37 pm Hey gsp. The 1972-S is difficult, at best, to describe due to how the mint produced these coins. The San Fran mint made both Proofs and 'Uncirculated' strikes in 1972. Is yours in a blue colored packaging? If so, it is considered a collectors "edition" coin and technically not a Proof. With that said, I'm not sure that VV has differentiated between these two types of strikes regarding doubled dies (if it even matters). Your coin does appear to be a doubled die, I can see some notching, but is difficult to tell which one IMHO. It is hard to take pics through a holder/cover no doubt. Is this coin in a holder by itself? Report this Post to the Staff
gsp193 Pillar of the Community United States 975 Posts	Posted 12/12/2021 1:12 pm Hey Bumpkin, thanks for looking it is in the hard plastic case, I bought an unopened box of 5 brown Ikes and this is the only one that looks like this...The other four all look exactly like the other one I posted.

gsp193 Pillar of the Community United States 975 Posts	Posted 12/13/2021 12:47 pm Here are a couple brighter pics hopefully Report this Post to the Staff
Bumpkin Pillar of the Community United States 509 Posts	Posted 12/13/2021 1:34 pm Better pics there and more visible notching is apparent. As far as which variety it is...... that I do not know from the pics. To me, the ones listed on VV are very similar in appearance to one another so without having coin in hand it would be really hard to make a definitive call on yours, especially without knowing the markers. Sorry. Edited by Bumpkin 12/13/2021 1:35 pm Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/13/2021 2:16 pm You need to diffuse the image to remove the glare show the spread will show better. Glare hides what you see that we don't see. Make sure to use a single light source as it allows light and shadows. With more sources light, the shadows go away and the light floods the images. http://goccf.com/t/395179#3382485 Edited by coop 12/13/2021 2:18 pm Report this Post to the Staff
gsp193 Pillar of the Community United States 975 Posts	Posted 12/13/2021 3:32 pm Thanks Bumpkin and coop. I am using one light with two pieces of paper over the end. I will have to try and figure something else out. Thanks for looking! Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/13/2021 3:59 pm Try two or one paper and one plastic grocery bag. Just don't let the two touch the light source, then you might have a fire. More of a curtain. that allows the light through, but diffused. When you mention one light source, is there multible bulbs in the source? If so that defeats the single light issue by removing the light and shadow affect. Also unwanted light source can defeat the light and shadows affect. Room lights, outside window lights. Best to put you hands around the coin to see the direction a secondary source can be coming from. The even the center of the tube could block out unwanted directional lights. Just need to find out the direction and remove it from hitting the coin when taking images. Edited by coop 12/13/2021 4:04 pm Report this Post to the Staff
gsp193 Pillar of the Community United States 975 Posts	Posted 12/13/2021 5:15 pm Thanks coop I will try and make a new setup. I have been using a hand held light that I tape paper to the end and turn off microscope light and room light (if those light sources are reflecting too much or causing too much glare) Report this Post to the Staff
