John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 09/10/2009 5:32 pm coop, Here are the pix you wanted. The R in trust matches the 005 and the scratches behind ONE CENT also. The die crack on the lower right of the steps match too. Let me know what you would grade it too please, thanx.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/10/2009 8:03 pm Sorry it still looks like a normal one to me. Try rotating the ERTY 180 degrees and take another image. The area is too dark where the doubling should be. After taking the image, rotate the image to the normal position. That might help or answer what I want to see. Report this Post to the Staff

DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 09/10/2009 11:52 pm Am I seeing notching on the bases of LIBERTY's letters? Then again, I really suck with LMC varieties Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 09/11/2009 08:06 am DVCollector, Yes you are seeing notching so you can cancel that eye appointment,HA-HA-HA John1 Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/11/2009 6:11 pm John1: That is what I wanted to see! It is that die. Nice find. See how rotating the coin made that area lighter. Now you have another secret to use with your images. I find most doubled dies show up stronger taken with the light opposite the way you take other images. Experiment with shots taken at different angles and you WILL get the images you really want. Congrats again! Report this Post to the Staff
