Wow. That's interesting. But can't determine if it is or not. Thanks for sharing!

 

It's this one LIBERTY is also doubled

 

By looking at the G imo I say JACKPOT! Nice find.

 

That certainly looks doubled (doubled die) to me but I'll wait for the experts to chime in. Out of curiosity, what power loupe do you use when searching?

 

Where do you keep finding these???
Where's the scope you were gonna get?
I'll chip in to the Sheila scope fund!! LOL!

 

IKR I'm thinking of moving to her area to get in on that action lol

 

40 and 60 power

 

Lol, I live in Myrtle Beach SC. I did get the scope but it is crap. It does not have good lighting and doesn't focus well or anything. It was free, but the same one Was going to order. I'm just glad I didn't spend my money on it.

 

That coin is in the Cherry Pickers' Guide also. Might want to give it an acetone bath to see if you can remove some of the gunk. Good find.

 

Ok, thank you.

 

40 power is too much and 60X is virtually useless unless you use it with halogen pipe light! That is probably why the scope was free.

If the majority of TPGS recommend 5-7X to examine a coin and they rarely need a scope that should tell you something. The photo's you post are pretty good. If you really get into this, $250-350 will get you a decent high-quality used ZOOM unit (7X-40X). Otherwise, virtually any scope with fixed powers (10X & 30X is common) can be had for much less; but 30X is useless too!

I'm not qualified to give an opinion about the mini-scopes that attach to a computer as I don't use or need one. Whats important is most "work" on coins is done between 3X and 10X WITH GOOD LIGHTING.

 

The one I have hooks up to the computer and it is the one that is really bad. It is extremely grainy, does not focus well and has bad lighting. I do need a good one though LOL. One day I will convince my husband to get me one when we have a little extra money.

 

Looks like the real deal to me. You go girl!

 

What's your reference book?

 

The strike it rich books the pocket change one

 

I mean this in the most friendly and respectful way possible, but there's something "wrong" with you, Sheila... perhaps a lottery ticket is in order. Might as well milk it for all you can get.

As always, congrats to you!

 

LOL thanks!!

 

Atta Girl. Keep up the hunt.

 

Wow, I could not go through so many coins using that strong of a magnification. I assume you have an assembled stand you put the coin in?
