I wonder if Jim is going to censor and close this thread?

first, the only doubling on the date is bar, or I'll call tail, that is the marker for the date, remember, my microscope can't pick up the tail, but can see with my 10x, the progression of the bang up date is the staging, next, R in TRUST matches, I know the marker is what I'll call a dimple, again, wexler uses a 1800x, so I can't pick that up either, thats why I used the R in TRUST, and so on

 

they won't close the thread, me and non cents are just talking, and proving our points, thats all

 

Rick,

What do you mean when you say "the progression of the bang up date?"

 

would this coin be worth anything considering it's condition if it was to be one of the lesser doubled dies?

 

when the die wheres, the progression of the date gets worse, that staging

 

But the doubling would still be visible, even on a later die state.

 

again, its the tail in the date, that makes the ddo

 

Yes I know, but your pictures don't appear to show the DDO. Even at the magnification you are using, it should still be visible.

 

Maybe you can try to use an alternative light source with your scope so that you can show us the doubled tail on the two.

 

h ere everybody, I highlighted the tail in the date, for what I have to offer, this is what starts the ddo, without this its no ddo

 

That doesn't look like die 9 at all.

 

non cents your not understanding, what the date looks like is only the staging, the marker is the tail in the date

 

I tried everything, I can see up to 500, but can only photo to 250, I'm sure wexler photo is at least at 1000x, he can photo up to 1800x

 

hey, someone should start a thread on markers, and staging, would be very helpful, I learned from doing vam

 

It's not the magnification power that's the problem. We could recognize 009 even if you zoomed out some. What you need is a light source that introduces shadows that allow us to see what you are seeing on the coin.

 

tell me how, i'm all ears

 

hey everybody, I'll try some new photos of 72, hopefully, I can get the tail coming off of the 2

 

It can be as simple as using a table lamp to illuminate it instead of the scope's LED.

 

Just play around with the angle of the light until it looks clear through the scope.
