    "In God We Trust" looks like it has some doubling. IMG_0761.JPG IMG_0762.JPG IMG_0763.JPG IMG_0764.JPG IMG_0765.JPG

    When using those microscopes you hav to zoom all the way in. Not a doubled die. In my opinion.

    Hard to tell from the pics (you have good pics, just too small). I'm thinking machine doubling but can't be certain. Check your coin to see if there is an exact match at the following:

    http://doubleddie.com/
    http://www.varietyvista.com/

    These sites are pretty comprehensive.

    Did you try zooming all the way in when taking photo? When i got my microscop it did that same thing untill i zoomed in. then the photo opened up and, did not have that ring around it. Your coin looks like machine doubling.

    That poor coin looks lonely way at the bottom of that deep hole it’s in. Lol.
    Seriously though it’s hard for us to help you when we have to advise off of poor quality images.
    Just work with it and you’ll get better images. I took this image with my IPad mini and the camera sucks in it. Images like this are what we need to help you more.

    Another thing that will help is to crop your pictures. If you crop out the black background, then the posted picture will be bigger. ;)

    If you take your pictures with a phone camera, you should be able to open the picture and at the bottom or in a menu have the ability to edit it.
    On an iPhone it's the three horizontal lines at the bottom of a picture. Click that icon then click the 'rotating square' at the bottom left. You can then select the portion you want and crop the rest out.
    If it's on a computer (or you send your picture to a computer), there should also be a function to edit/crop pictures within a viewer software. If you have Paint on your computer, you can open the picture in that software and use that to also crop a picture.
    Here are a couple of your pictures that are 'cropped'. I used Paint to do it.
    Much easier to see, especially for us that are getting older!
