Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5786 Posts	Posted 03/03/2023 2:39 pm How about an image of the T of CENT. That die chip should be really large on your coin. (Or how about a full reverse and obverse image?) 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
SomeGoodCents Valued Member United States 238 Posts	Posted 03/03/2023 3:06 pm Guess I should start thumbing through my 55 rolls. Obviously I don't have the Monster 55 DD but this post has got me wondering about other possibilities. Report this Post to the Staff

Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5786 Posts	Posted 03/03/2023 7:20 pm An image of it would be nice since many dies from this period experience chips on the T.

kurdlezuit Pillar of the Community United States 1034 Posts	Posted 03/03/2023 9:50 pm I took pictures of most markers even though Wexler stated some were no longer visible in later die states. I left out the front and back of the neck. those are no longer visible. Wexler page quote : Die Markers: Obverse Stage A: A light die scratch runs WSW/ENE to the left of the back of the neck. Obverse Stage B: Die scratch is weaker. Die clash remnant at front of throat. Die crack runs SW/NE through upper hair. Obverse Stage C: Die scratch is gone. Die crack through hair is stronger. Reverse Stage A: Die crack down right side of T in CENT. Die crack through lower right wheat kernels. Reverse Stage B: Same as Stage A. Reverse Stage C: Same as Stage B. Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 03/04/2023 04:13 am I think you are missing rule #1 here: you need to find the doubled die first and then match die markers.Having the die chip on the T on the reverse means it just wasn't changed out,the obverse still is not doubled.

Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5786 Posts	Posted 03/04/2023 07:06 am Pretty nice images. Thanks. I agree with John1 100%. The variety must be there first. The markers are second. Your coin doesn't have the thickness to the date and LIBERTY. The "spines" (left side) of IBE should be thicker and curved for this variety (classic Class 6 doubling). The ones on your coin are not curved. The tails of "95" should exhibit thickness and your coin does not. With that being said, your images make it fairly easy to see that the die crack on the "T" on CENT on your coin doesn't match, as shown on the CC images. Your coin is a VLDS coin. The die crack on the "T" on your coin is fairly long and thin. The die crack on the "T" of the CC images is much shorter but wider. The die crack on the "T" on your coin should be just as wide (or wider) as the CC images. It isn't. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.

kurdlezuit Pillar of the Community United States 1034 Posts	Posted 03/04/2023 10:17 am Ok ok. I concede. I thought I saw more than I did. I will give up on this one. The T on the back threw me all in on this. Thanks for the input, definitely appreciated it. Report this Post to the Staff

Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5786 Posts	Posted 03/04/2023 10:48 am Glad to help. We've probably all been there before, not wanting to give up on a coin.
