    Okay, I've become much much more picky about what I post and what I don't. Am I onto something here?

    Looks like he has a goatee which I found amuzing actually too. On one pic I see what looks like the lower left corner of the first A in America. I marked it with an arrow.

    What do y'all experts think?

    The only reason there are several pics is because I got them from all different angles since I don't have time to find something to spend the light. My dog is having her puppies so I'm hanging out with her. Just in case anyone cares to know or is wondering, she's a Border Collie. I've been breeding them for many years. I have 3 of my pups in Hollywood that a trainer bought from different litters for film and photo shoots. They are rare colors and not the normal black and whites that you see around. I'll upload a few pics on this thread if anyone wants to see them.

    Thanks y'all,
    Rachel

    The coin in question about the A is a die chip.

    I think that the reason that you are being a little more picky is because you are learning, Kuddos. I don't see what you are seeing, but it looks like you took some good photos.
    Happy hunting!

    On a double die, the master hub makes two impressions on the die with a slight difference in rotation between the impressions. If that were to occur, and you could see the doubling at the beard, close to the center of the die, what would you expect to see further out from the center of the die, a larger spread between die elements, the same spread, or a smaller spread? Another way to think about it, if you have a wheel with a radius of 1 foot and a wheel with a radius of 2 feet, and turn each wheel 90 degrees, which wheel goes further?

    This idea is represented in the attached photo, look how the spread of the doubling changes as you move away from the center of the die, from Y to L in liberty, and from 1 to 9 in the date:

    So if you are seeing doubling near the center of a coin, it will be exaggerated out near the edges.

    Congrats on the new puppies, hope shes doing ok! I have a mastiff/collie mix
