Hi. This 1992 D cent is interesting to me as it looks like it has some kind of doubling in a few places. Check out especially the L in Liberty, the TE in UNITED, the date also looks doubled somehow, and E PLURIBUS UNUM seems to have the letters carried to above the words in some kind of doubling. I think its not the wanted AM but its interesting anyways. Let me know your thoughts on this coin if you will please. Is that doubling or is that doubling and what kind would it be f it is? Thanks a lot. I did multiple scans from different angles:     |

I'll try. I'm using the scanner and am fairly new to working with them, or with images period for that matter. (an HP F2100 All-In-One) Will see what I can do with these twisted hands and scanner  |

By the way, if you click on the image you should get a bigger one to look at, meanwhile I'll still try and scan parts of the coin to see if I can get closeup of the parts.

I was going to say Machine Doubling but would have felt like a fool had I been wrong :) |

I'm working with the scanner and with that Paint program. Not sure how to
crop and make a closup bigger image without it going all weird and pixelly
so have been tryng to scan bits of the coin, resizing in the preview scan, and
working with a VERY tiny image trying to resize with the curser before scanning.
It scans a bigger pic but I can't see what area I'm cropping to. Its just too small.
The corner boxes in preview cover the image. Will keep trying though.
If MD its pretty major all over in lots of areas.

I'll play around a bit again after I've had some sleep.
Meanwhile anyone else is more than welcome to use any of
my coin images to play with them.
I'll learn how to get bigger and better images yet! Promise.

E Pluribus Unum also has a large raised images of the letters below, like
they're carried over but the words themselves don't look like they were taken
from to create those above? My eyes are amatuer though regards DD and MD's.
Almost like a lighter double strike or something similar (double MD? LOL)
The scanner leaves something to be desired for getting angles and reflections.

Unfortunately a scanner is never going to capture small details on coins with enough detail to do much good.
I can see, however, what you are asking about on the upper reverse, and this is split copper plating that happeneed during the strike. It is common - very common.

Chuck, do you mean above the E pluribus unum I'm talking about or above the STATES mentioned by Adam?
