1982 S Proof Quarter Suspected DDR

I would say the majority of what you are seeing is caused by lighting, an issue that has always plagued me. I would say, even if there was hub doubling here, it would be too minor to list. Very nice looking coin though!

I would suggest looking at it with 1/4 turns. If you have hub doubling, it will show no matter what direction you turn it. Sometimes this will help rule out the lighting issue.

@merclover my coin scope has 4 led lights right next the the scope lens, so no matter how much or little the light is on, it just glares directly back at the camera lol and without using them the whole picture goes black. I am still experimenting with soft white surfaces for redirecting light but I am making slow progress. Will update when I manage to get better pictures!

Honestly I think I'm just going to invest in a nice jewelers loop, I had far better luck getting good quality close-ups with my phone and a loop. Shame my loop is broken right now, I should have known better than to let the kids play with it.

I learned a trick from John1 for diffusing light with scopes like mine, so please see below for new (I think higher quality) notated pictures. I know there's a lot of them, I apologize for the quantity but I promise I sorted through the ones I took for just the best one and only notated/included the ones with any clear picture of what I'm seeing. Looking forward to seeing what you all think as usual!
