Is there any doubling on IGWT motto? It looks well struck like it may have come from a proof set. Which Could lend to the posability of a double strike, But I don't believe its a DDO. Or it may be just Machine doubling, but very pronounced at that.
i'm just lurking to learn ...feel free to ignore me... thinking: as if Double Dies were not complicated enough now I discovered VAMs
The correct term is Doubled Die not Double.. big difference Quote - "Note that the proper terminology for this occurrence includes the letter 'd' at the end of the first word, hence "doubled die". The term "double die" without the first word ending in 'd' is not proper numismatic terminology." closed quote I want to share this webpage with you - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doubled_die
I've been trying out my new microscope, lighting seems to be the biggest issue. Here's a pic I took with my nikon .
Did you use zoom in that photo? If I can give a couple of tips: shoot coins straight on (put the lens parallel to the coin). Play with the light distances, not the camera. If you have a 10x loupe, put that in front of your camera phone and it'll take some pretty great shots. Don't use camera zoom. That's a digital process and usually pixelates the shot and makes it harder to see.
