Newbieee Valued Member United States 98 Posts	Posted 07/25/2023 07:53 am Here is a shot where I can see the separation on the bottom of the B. Through a loop it is much easier to see than through the camera. Cant get the glare away no matter how much I monkey with the light or you just cant see it when I turn it down too low Report this Post to the Staff
Newbieee Valued Member United States 98 Posts	Posted 07/25/2023 10:16 am Finally got some decents.. on the darker picture the extra serifs are easily seen inside of the B and the R. The other photo is a good shot of the bottom of the raised R detail Report this Post to the Staff
Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 07/25/2023 4:16 pm We need clear in focus, no glare pictures of the whole coin. Report this Post to the Staff
Newbieee Valued Member United States 98 Posts	Posted 07/26/2023 12:14 am When there isn't light on the coin my camera can't distinguish the slightly separate colors and blends it all together or it looks like drunk minting. Having light is the only way ive found to show separation and the crossovers. Will come back to this once I have better pictures Report this Post to the Staff
Newbieee Valued Member United States 98 Posts	Posted 07/26/2023 2:06 pm I was originally trying to point out how the date is more doubled than the graded examples but I got off track and never posted a good pic of the date so here it is. Report this Post to the Staff
SamCoin Pillar of the Community United States 3237 Posts	Posted 07/26/2023 2:07 pm I see no doubling, but these pictures are still terrible. Sorry, but you're gonna have to upgrade your camera if you want better help. That said, I'm fairly certain this coin has no doubling and you're just getting fooled by the glare.

Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 07/26/2023 3:35 pm Glare, If it was doubling, it wouldn't matter if the light was on or not. Report this Post to the Staff
Newbieee Valued Member United States 98 Posts	Posted 07/26/2023 3:56 pm So the double serifs crossing over eachother on the 8 is not doubling? I have to figure out what that is then Report this Post to the Staff
Newbieee Valued Member United States 98 Posts	Posted 07/26/2023 4:14 pm Someone could make serious money on ebay if glare made separate brown serifs Report this Post to the Staff
SamCoin Pillar of the Community United States 3237 Posts	Posted 07/26/2023 5:10 pm @Newbieee unscrupulous sellers absolutely DO make tons of money selling garbage on ebay and using glare, MD, DDD, and lots of other tricks to fool clueless buyers into overpaying for coins. If you really believe this coin has doubling, please go online and pick up a cheap USB microscope (you can get one for like $15), and post a picture of the coin where we can actually see something. It's just pointless going back and forth with you getting more and more atrociously bad photos Report this Post to the Staff
Newbieee Valued Member United States 98 Posts	Posted 07/26/2023 5:51 pm We are finishing a dining set and then we are going to get a camera with a macro lens. I already have one packaged ready to go to fed ex tomorrow.. if we weren't working 16 hour days id of been days ago. I geuss seeing it in hand I know what the glare does and how to look past it in the photos. There is clear separation on the majority of the devices. Looking at that 8 in the date of the photo I posted today I cant figure out how one would not see doubling. The serif starts east of the main 8 then crosses the right side of the main 8. It almost looks like tripled die with the dies going clock and counter clock Report this Post to the Staff

Maybe I'm gonna look dumb here, but what is "the big one? Report this Post to the Staff
