My vote went for Machine Doubling. What I really want to know if how you get your pictures. |

I use a 3.5-35X microscope with a zoom lens and take images through the eye piece.  |

Do you take your pics with a camera through the scope coop? If so how? I bought an AmScope dissecting scope with 10X-20x and it came with a camera which is only a 2.0 web cam that plugs into my laptop( which I take my close ups with). I have a 15 MP cannon digital camera but have not figured out how to take pics through the scope with it. Am I missing something? I would love to take pics like you do but thought those were all taken with a macro lenses which I cannot afford yet. I've tried positioning my camera on a tri-pod into the lens but that does not work either, unless I am missing the lighting or something? |

This is actually a lesson on two points. I'll reveal part of this first:
What is a variety? To the purist a die variety is created while the mint was hubbing or punching the mint mark. What types of varieties are there?
RPM (RePunched Mint Mark)
Doubled die. The die during the hubbing process creating the die, didn't get the same hub/or the same hub with more wear on it/rotated/toward the center hubbing/warped hub/modified hub. So these are created when the die was created.
OM (Over mint mark) Dies were shipped from location to another and the mint mark was added over an existing mint mark. IE: S/D or O over CC.
OD (Over date) Which happened on 19th century coins where the dies were created in sections or parts added. (Usually the dates) Sometimes a die was re-used with a date from a different year over another previous year. In the 20th Century the devices were all placed on the master die so over dates weren't possible unless a die was hubbed with one year and hubbed again with the next year. IE 1942/1 Dimes 1943/2 Nickels.
So in this message there is a clue about varieties. Which is part of the answer.

It is a variety, a doubled die that shows on the bottom edges of the date. and faintly on the E on WE. It is a new find of mine that was different from the other examples found so far on coppercoins.com It reminded me of the 1962 proof DDO:  It is different, but the 62 proofs made me start looking at different years for the same type of doubling and this coin was my first discovery of something similiar on the date. Just another reminder to search for the same type of doubling that may have been found on coins in the same date range. I just wanted to share. |

I agree with twohawks. I see two lines on left side of the 9 and 6 which to my untrained eyes look like 3x strike
