Have you looked at coppercoins.com/ ? Check image #3 and see if the same doubling is under the beard?

If not, then it is not that die number.

Hard to do an overlay for a doubled area. On RPMs it is easier, but on doubled dies it is harder to find borders to size it with so you can crop and cut to make the borders the same size. Best to check the neck doubling and the other markers to know for sure. Alos you may wish to check to see if it is a bubble in the plating or if it is part of the strike the die made. (A doubled die.)

Thanks for all the help guys. I guess I'm shot down again. That's fine though because it's nice to know what's happening. Anyway, the die crack through C on the reverse isn't there. Neither are the ones above the flower pot. It's too worn to tell what's happening under the beard. Here's a closer shot. Maybe that will help. If not #18, is it a DO or not? If not, what is it by the earlobe ?

Numismo: That image is much better. I made an overlay with the one from coppercoins it it look very similar. See what you think?

Check again on thr third image on the site to see if the devices in the beard is affected or not. That should be the tell tale thing rather than the bump under the lobe.

numismo: Here is an explanation of the arrows.


I tried editing your images and I couldn't see what I wanted on them. The light is too bright making a glare on the bottoms of the devices. If you note on the example of the coppercoins image, a little softer light allows light and shadow. So if you can soften the glare out of your images you will get more of what you really want to see. Also another suggestion: Try rotating the coin to get the light to fall across the devices. Some angles are better than others. It just depends on the devices.

But with the explanation you should see the lower devices on the beard on your coin. If it is not there, then it could be from a different die?

That image is a lot better. Has anyone noticed you can enlarge an image and move it next to another image on this page. You can put the coppercoins image on the right side of the image in question. It looks like the real thing from what I can tell. I've never found one before, but the images show what I wanted to see. Numismo, now you can see the shadows and the lighted areas. It takes both to get a good image. If you took an image of the sun all you would get is white. If you took an image of the moon, the light and shadows make a picture.

When you click on the image from my previous post with the image from coppercoins and enlarge it, you can move it down beside your image in your post by grabbing on to the blue part on the top of the enlarged image and move it down to you image and compare the two images side by side. One will be enlarged and the other the same as the screen shows normally.
