Howdy all! I'm into the second roll of old bank and uncirc rolls I got today, and this gem popped out. Using my guide, I can't tell which of the 9 this might be. To me, the date is obviously doubled, but I can't see it anywhere else. My photography isn't great. The first picture shows the line under the 2, which you can't see in the other photos. I tried different lighting angles.

This coin is wearing my eyes out. I'm using a single eye loupe... how can I look through a nice quantity of coins with both eyes without all the strain!? I don't see the Cud. I do see what appears to be a very light die crack running between the top of O and D in GOD. Im gonna check the reverse now. |

Wait, is the Cud where it looks like there are 2 edges? |

I thought the Cud was that damage pointed out in my book. My coin doesn't have that damage, but it does have that second lip to it. |

This is tough. The doubling on this date is pretty obvious, and most obvious on the 2. Nothing in my picker's guide is nailing this thing down.
To be honest, my date looks more severe than 104, but not as bad as 101. It is certainly not 102 because I do not see doubling in the text, especially that strong.
I'm going to get a better snap shot of this date and post it. Give me a few.

Here is a pic of the date. To be honest, it seems to be the 104. However, I cant see any doubling in the text. In the guide, the tops of IBER seem to be weak and I can see the same on my coin. I can post more later. [URL="http://img64.imageshack.us/i/1972cent4.gif/]  [/URL] [URL="http://img203.imageshack.us/i/1972cent5.gif/]  [/URL] Edited by Drsandman2

Okay, I see Machine Doubling on the coin int he last post, and I honestly see nothing in any of the other posts. These are normal coins. |
