A1agrl Valued Member United States 170 Posts	Posted 10/30/2023 2:07 pm When looking at this quarter I noticed the letters seemed a bit thick. Under the scope I saw what I believe to be doubling on the Words "Crossing the Delaware". (See images). I know I have found a lot of Machine Doubling, but this looks different. Opinions Please.

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74237 Posts	Posted 10/30/2023 3:06 pm I am thinking Die Deterioration Doubling and light induced doubling. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
A1agrl Valued Member United States 170 Posts	Posted 10/30/2023 3:41 pm Thanks EV... what caught my notice most was the lower tips of the R in Crossing. This is not shelf like as in Mechanical Doubling, but rounded. Also, the coin as a whole is in excellent shape with clean lines, so I don't think this is Die Deterioration. Obviously, this is a slight doubling, and even if it is a double die, it would not be worth much. I just want to know if I'm looking for the right things when identifying doubling.

A1agrl Valued Member United States 170 Posts	Posted 10/30/2023 4:44 pm The doubling is to the North and makes it appear as if some letters, especially the R, and also the L in Delaware, are twined. Report this Post to the Staff

A1agrl Valued Member United States 170 Posts	Posted 10/30/2023 8:10 pm I'll do my best. The only light on the coin is from the scope, without using the side little spot lights. But I'll try and get an image without much reflection. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 96214 Posts	Posted 10/30/2023 9:05 pm Illuminating a coin under a scope can be tricky - I generally use natural light, So I make sure that the curtains are open and have the light hitting the coin from only one direction.

But you should be able to do something similar. It cuts out a lot of the glare by diffusing the light or filtering it as much as you can. Just a plain white sheet of paper. Normal thickness.
