    I'd like to get you guys take look at this one the date and the mint mark is tripled there's three layers. I've seen double on machine doubling but I've never seen tripled. Also I haven't had any luck finding anything like it on the internet and variety vista doesn't have it on there thank you. 20170703_132934_HDR.jpg 20170703_133211_HDR.jpg

    I don't think it's anything other than strike doubling but the date has some interesting vague lines.

    Pictures from directly overhead and more crisp detail would be much more useful, along with what you have already posted, to be able to compare the shapes of the devices on the off chance is could be a DDO.

    Do you see the difference in your images and those posted on the attribution sites?

    I compared it to my 1968 s DDO it looks the same other than this one has triple. I'll take a better picture and upload it.

    Here's couple more pictures hopefully these are a little better. I'm working on trying to build a box to stabilize the camera so I can get better pictures. 20170703_140158_HDR.jpg 20170703_140035_HDR.jpg 20170703_135822.jpg

    Compare it to the attributed varieties and make things easier on yourself.

    I don't think you'll find one attributed like that and a clue for you is that the mint mark appears to be affected the same way as the date.

    Are you using a usb scope, btw?

    No I'm using my smartphone at this point I got a new camera but I'm going to have to build a box and a holder for it to stabilize it.

    If I understood the question I have a 60 Loop scope but you can see it with a four times. I haven't used a scope yet to try to take pictures.

    I have no idea what a "60 Loop scope" is or what you are using to 'see it with a four times' or what you are using to actually take your pictures.

    My apologies when I was talking about the loop I was talking about the magnifier again I'm sorry about that. The loop that you're talking about I'm not familiar I know I bought a new camera it's a Sony I spent about $400 on it. They told me that I'll be happy with the pictures it takes or the refund my money.

    You are taking those pictures with a 400 buck Sony?

    Just break it out and try it. You can brace your hands on something and it is very likely it will do far better than what you're producing with your cellphone.

    No sir today I'm only using my smartphone because the camera I can't keep it steady enough. So I'm building a holder to set the camera directly over the coin so that way it stays steady and I can focus in on it. If that was the new camera that took those kind of pictures I'd be in my car taking it back for a refund.

    Brace yourself, hold your breath and try using the flash. In the meantime, I'm sure you'll be able to rig something up to make things easy.

    Not a DDO from what I see.

    I bet videos exist on youtube to show you how to use the sony.

    There are some DDO's for the 1968S and your pix aren't showing enough detail of the PUP's required. It is possible yours may be a match to the over ten attributed and simply has MD on the date and mint mark to go with it.

    You have the links to the sources and say you can see it, match it up because your pix ain't allowing it.
