    If you zoom in close enough I can see minor doubling in quite a few places, mainly in the T in Liberty and all of 2004, also the Y in Liberty

    Want best way to tell. Take a PERFECT IMAGE. Invert the image. Look at the outlining:)

    It's a good shot!
    I wouldn't be able to see errors if you rubbed them in my face, BUT, when it comes to doubling, I might recommend that you pop it out of that capsule though! Look at the words "In God We Trust" to know why :)
    The reflection.

    This is in the original government container with the original velvet packaging, and I intend to keep it that way. Thanks for the advice though.

    What does the reverse look like? We like to see both sides of the coin........:)

    I think that any doubling you may be seeing is cause by the reflection between the coin an capsule. I've seen lots of that.

    No doubling, just the reflection.

    Are you sure? It doesn't look like a reflection
    I took the photo as well as well as a few more and this was the best of the lot, and I don't remember how I did it :(, and the photos of the reverse are not as good.

    You can always put it back; no harm, no foul.

    Look at the coin using a single light source. As you move it around to look from many different angles, you'll probably see the doubling move around, too.

    At least on the motto it does.

    I had no clue you could open it without damaging the container

    They open quite easily. Look for a seam around the circumference of the holder and gently insert a sharp pen knife into it and work your way around gently prying the two halves apart.......

    Sure thing! You're fine my man, just run your fingernail around the edge where it opens and you'll start to hear it creeking.....just keep going, running your other fingernail under the opposite side and "POP".
    Take a couple shots and then just "POP" her back in.

    Be very, very careful. Take your time. You don't want to scratch it or get fingerprints on it.
