I've been working to get a pic' of this variety for the website and I got one of the eye that I like pretty good. I now need to try to get the doubling on the date and LIBERTY. This coin would grade at G IMHO, and it just goes to show that you don't need to only look at high grade coins to find varieties! A member here sent me this coin!! Thanks man!

If I had a "reference" pic I'd probably see the area in the close-up and then I'd also know where to look for the doubling, because I also haven't a clue where the doubling is occurring either Ribbit   04-05-2008, 07:12 PM   #3 (permalink) Speedy Researching Coins     Join Date: Mar 2004 Posts: 11,590 My Mood: Quote: I can't figure out where on the coin this shot is taking place. Well lets see---I said in the title that it is a Double Eye...so that was a big hint Its the eye---pull out any old nickel and you will be able to see right away!

So please explain the angle of the shot (ie. - shot from 180 degees or shot from zero degrees (degrees would be in relation to Jefferson being the point of reference in a vertical position)) or provide a reference pic so I can figure out what I'm looking at. The "I's" may have it but I sure don't!

These close up shots don't show all that much detail, but they do show varieties pretty good. The problem is that I can't zoom out all that much.

I just got back from the Niagara Falls coin show where I saw the most beautiful example of this variety. It was raw and I would say around ms-65 or better. Wish I had that kind of cash with me. Wasn't planning on seeing the double eye I guess, but it was awesome to see. The dealer let me spend as much quality time with it as I wanted. Also saw a BU 1943/2. __________________ "She knows nothing at all about life, but she knows everything about living"   04-09-2008, 06:02 PM   #10 (permalink) Treashunt The Other Frank     Join Date: Oct 2006 Location: New York Posts: 16,669 Quote: Originally Posted by tommypski Nice.

The 43/2 was ms63 in a ICG holder, I never asked for a price on that. __________________ "She knows nothing at all about life, but she knows everything about living" Last edited by tommypski; 04-10-2008 at 11:37 PM.   04-05-2008, 10:40 PM   #12 (permalink) ziggy9 Coin Collector     Join Date: Mar 2007 Location: Pats country!
