DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 02/19/2011 2:40 pm Some areas look like MD to me, but other areas I'm unsure. For instance, the incuse lettering "MAJULAH SINGAPURA" clearly has separation in places (arrows) However, I'm uncertain if MD can look this way on incuse lettering--perhaps somebody who knows can help us out?

Scooby Due Pillar of the Community United States 4000 Posts	Posted 02/19/2011 3:03 pm Interesting coin. I love a mystery! (Imagine that!) Every case of incuse doubling that I have seen has been diagnosed as MD by all the pros. I don't recall ever getting an answer about what/if it would look like, though. So, not saying it's impossible, just that I have not had a chance to see a true example. So, not a lot of help there. The doubling around the lion seems to be along the deterioration lines, but the SGP and "U" also seem to have notching. Can we get a closer loook at SINGAPURA to determine the depth of the doubling vs the main device? Even if a pro comes along and slaps us around and points out what it is, I'd still like to see it if it's not too much trouble. Edited by Scooby Due 02/19/2011 3:04 pm Report this Post to the Staff
carmykle Pillar of the Community United States 2448 Posts	Posted 02/19/2011 3:36 pm Marking this to find it laster. I'm facinated. Can a coin have both? Report this Post to the Staff
macmercury Pillar of the Community United States 5832 Posts	Posted 02/19/2011 5:08 pm Could Die Deterioration cause such a issue? but only effecting certain area. Is the thickness same overall? Report this Post to the Staff

Sander Pillar of the Community Netherlands 561 Posts	Posted 02/20/2011 1:36 pm Thanks for all the replies. @Scooby, it's rather difficult to get a good "depth" picture.. This is the best what I can make with my camera.. Report this Post to the Staff
Scooby Due Pillar of the Community United States 4000 Posts	Posted 02/20/2011 2:06 pm Thanks. I meant the SINGAPURA at the top. Sorry I wasn't a little clearer. Don't worry about, I'll take Mike Diamond's assessment. Report this Post to the Staff
