Best Answer - Posted by mustbebob
"One thing I will make note of and that is about class 6 doubled dies. The terminology for class 6 is "distended Hub Doubling". Extra thickness of all the devices does not mean it is a class 6. There is usually some twisting or distortion associated with it. This is usually seen best on the tail of the 9, the IBE of LIBERTY or the E of WE for obverse doubled dies. Just look up class 6 and you will see what I mean.
On this particular example, almost all of the devices show some extra thickness. This is normally your clue that this is deterioration as it affects everything. As the die continues to strike coins, the relatively sharp edges gives way to mushiness which then leads to extra thickness. Put that together with regular circulation wear, and you can see where the significant extra thickness comes from."

Provided Answers: 94I do see what you are talking about but cannot tell from the pics. It would be cool if you found a DDR on a 2017 because there are none. It may just be lighting but the "O" in ONE looks odd. As I told you, maybe play with the settings on the scope. You may be able to get the clarity a little better by upping the pixels, sometime the default is set low.

Provided Answers: 104That does look weird... I hope you can get a better pic of it so we can get a better idea on what you have... The O in ONE looks out of round on the close up and full rev pics but the N and E look thick on the close up and normal on the full rev pic... Could be lighting giving us a run for the money

Provided Answers: 61Best I can tell from the pics it looks like MD, maybe some MD at the edge of the scroll near it. Dearing, I hate to be a bad news breaker... but you may need to send the scope back and find a different one
Please tell us the name of it so we can take a look online and see if it's compatible with taking pics of coins.

Provided Answers: 400Really??? Coins that are in this bad of a condition should never be used to try and identify an error or variety. As far as I am concerned, the very fact that the surface of the coin is compromised like this is a good reason to not even consider it as anything but damage and worth throwing in the trash. I understand the newer folks not knowing, but our established folks should know better than to even guess on something this bad.
On the other hand, using this post as a way to help improve the photo quality is a much better endeavor.Bob Piazza

Provided Answers: 61Thank you Bob, you are right! It just becomes a guessing game when pics are blurry and/or distorted or the coin has a lot of damage. We were all excited for Dearing to get his new scope in and now it's disappointing for him, and us, that the scope doesn't seem to be up to par for coin photos.
