Reds_brother18 Valued Member United States 56 Posts	Posted 07/24/2022 4:15 pm I wish I could take jam up photos every time but I'm subpar at best. I will try for sure. Is the doubling on the seven evident enough? I have pictures of lots of what appears to be doubling all over the coin, from different angles but the seven is the eye catcher for me personally.

Reds_brother18 Valued Member United States 56 Posts	Posted 07/24/2022 5:44 pm I've been trying for the last hour for better pictures and I think these posted are about best I can get. Its hard for me to understand how I see a seven clear as day under the top seven and when zoomed in on the first picture I see an L and M. I really wonder about this page sometimes Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/24/2022 6:33 pm Looks like a partial Grease Fill on those devices. The grease prevents the tops of the devices from forming. Not a die chip. Why? Because a die chip would be a void on the die and the opposite would show on a coin. The area would be irregular and raised, not incuse. So it not a die chip, but a partial Grease Fill on those devices. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 97914 Posts	Posted 07/24/2022 9:04 pm I think the bottom of the 7 took a slight hit, as for the top of the 7, can't tell it is too far away and blurry to me. When I zoom in on your photo it gets all pixelated. Use your cell phone zoom function and hold it above the coin. (for a half dollar, I use 3x zoom setting and it works well. Collecting since 1972.
