Wouldn't the coins hold up better if they were air tight? Image: IMG_0263.jpg 88.78 KB Image: IMG_0263.jpg 31.84 KB Report this Post to the Staff

I agree with you that the Mint should take more care with their coins. You'd think by now that they would be packaging their coins correctly. Report this Post to the Staff
wavysteps New Member United States 37 Posts	Posted 11/03/2006 08:24 am I am not to sure if it is the picture that you took or maybe it is not, but there is doubling evident on the eyelid, eyebrow and some of the eye itself. Of course this could be caused by an unsteady camera mount while taking the picture, but if not, it MAY be a doubled die. If possible, could you re-take the picture with the coin outside its holder?

stmpcol Valued Member United States 223 Posts	Posted 11/03/2006 12:52 pm I tried to take better pics, but to no avail. Just not good enough yet. I don't believe this to be doubling of any kind. Under my grandsons microscope it looks like somebody at the mint took an engraving tool and tried to highlight certian areas. The eye, inside the ear, the nose nostril and some of the hair in front of the ear. Report this Post to the Staff
