Notice on the bottom of the Eagles belly, under 40 power you can plainly see the indentations along the bottom of the Eagle. And on the left wing close to the body on the tip of the three feathers. I would like to know what others think about this.
I tend to agree with the man of few words above. Some die chatter possibly from a loose collar causing machine doubling.
Hello Tommy. Please keep in mind what you're looking at in the pics. There is no shelf like appearance nor is there any raised elements on the bottom of the Eagle. What you are visualizing is basically a deep impression all along the bottom of the Eagle. As in a over strike. Creating a deeper impression. A long the bottom of the Eagle. I know it's hard to see but it's harder to photograph. I just do not have the right camera to get that right photo. Now the three spots on the wing I could possibly believe mechanical doubling. The primary characteristic of mechanical doubling on coins with raised design elements is that the secondary image (doubling) has a flat, shelf-like appearance. On genuine doubled dies the secondary image is raised and rounded just like the primary image. Also, genuine doubled dies are characterized by a splitting of the serifs on letters with serifs, or a “notching” of the corners of the letters which are doubled. This splitting of the serifs or notching of the letter corners will not be found on coins with mechanical doubling.
Hey Tommy just an update. Well I guess this will not be getting a MS 70. Oh well they want to much for the ones that are supposedly MS 70s just received it from the mint a couple of days ago.
If and when I decide to send it in I'm sure I'll get back with you. I'm trying to get a good price I'm trying to get the minimum of five. I just do not want to send anything in. Checking with Wexler right now as far as sending it in to get his paperwork. I'd really like him to take a look at it first. If you know what I mean. And I'm thinking about sending that 78 Carson City in to get a grade on it. Since I have that letter from Leroy Van Allen. PS. Tommy you been looking at my photos since I've started coin talk. Every time I look at the reverse photo of this quarter, that has to be the best photo I have taken since I joined coin talk. And I'm driving myself nuts trying to figure out how I got such a good-looking photo.
