jfeed Pillar of the Community United States 1264 Posts	Posted 10/02/2023 8:12 pm Thanks 16609.. The left dot is elongated and the right one is as well , but note as much. I will look at the three sites to see if I can find an attribution. Report this Post to the Staff

nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15450 Posts	Posted 10/03/2023 05:34 am Very difficult to see with those dark surfaces. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff
panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18673 Posts	Posted 10/03/2023 08:41 am proofs are a nightmare to photograph. if you add more light you'll probably add glare and washout the surfaces. based on these there a couple areas that I'm unsure of. the obv right field appears to have some disturbance. the reverse appears to have a scratch or mark running all the way along the top of PLURIBUS UNUM. can you confirm these if they are actually there? if they are not then i'll put it at PF66 maybe PF67. tough call on CAM without better photos Report this Post to the Staff
jfeed Pillar of the Community United States 1264 Posts	Posted 10/03/2023 12:44 pm Thanks for yourcomments.The coin appears to be a DDR. I will post on proper forum later. Report this Post to the Staff
jfeed Pillar of the Community United States 1264 Posts	Posted 10/03/2023 6:09 pm Reverse E.PLU doesn't appear to have scratches. Hard to get good phots of obverse field. Thanks for you comments.. I'm gonna keep it as a nice example of a proof. Report this Post to the Staff

jfeed Pillar of the Community United States 1264 Posts	Posted 10/03/2023 6:33 pm Sorry..I was responding to "PANZALDI" comments when I posted additional photos. Had no intentions of over riding original photos. Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 10/03/2023 6:37 pm Got it. Even in high grades this proof isn't worth much. But always a good idea to work on your photography skills. Report this Post to the Staff

panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18673 Posts	Posted 10/04/2023 10:18 am there are no DDR proofs. what you are seeing is called Machine Doubling where the die shifts. Report this Post to the Staff
jfeed Pillar of the Community United States 1264 Posts	Posted 10/04/2023 11:42 am panzaldi... Then Wexler and Vista are wrong when they post attributions for a 1957 proof one cent coin. There are at least 11 indicated. Have I been researching the wrong way all these months? Thanks Report this Post to the Staff
