    I've been working to get a pic' of this variety for the website and I got one of the eye that I like pretty good. I now need to try to get the doubling on the date and LIBERTY.
    This coin would grade at G IMHO, and it just goes to show that you don't need to only look at high grade coins to find varieties! A member here sent me this coin!! Thanks man! :hail:

    It would help if you also posted a pic of the entire coin, from the same angle as the close-up, because I can't figure out where on the coin this shot is taking place. If I had a "reference" pic I'd probably see the area in the close-up and then I'd also know where to look for the doubling, because I also haven't a clue where the doubling is occurring either

    Well lets see---I said in the title that it is a Double Eye...so that was a big hint :D :D
    Its the eye---pull out any old nickel and you will be able to see right away!

    In defense of handsome toad
    you didn't say anywhere what denomination the coin was and the pic was too close for me to figure out.

    We are in the nickel group so I figured it was a Jefferson by the date and I did catch the "eye" in the title but I still have no clue what angle this is being shot from, hence, I have no clue where the eye is. So please explain the angle of the shot (ie. - shot from 180 degees or shot from zero degrees (degrees would be in relation to Jefferson being the point of reference in a vertical position)) or provide a reference pic so I can figure out what I'm looking at.
    The "I's" may have it but I sure don't! :desk:

    I'm shooting the photo with no angle.....just pick up a Jefferson Nickel and hold it so the head is up like normal.....then look right the eye.
    These close up shots don't show all that much detail, but they do show varieties pretty good. The problem is that I can't zoom out all that much.

    Nice. I just got back from the Niagara Falls coin show where I saw the most beautiful example of this variety. It was raw and I would say around ms-65 or better. Wish I had that kind of cash with me. Wasn't planning on seeing the double eye I guess, but it was awesome to see. The dealer let me spend as much quality time with it as I wanted. Also saw a BU 1943/2.

    Interesting.
    What was the dealer asking for them?

    $350 for the doubled eye,I thought that seemed high, but wasen't sure so I passed. The 43/2 was ms63 in a ICG holder, I never asked for a price on that.
