Two die breaks starting at the same point on the rim, the lower one going on again to the rim.
I've been looking at a case of Multiple Machine Doubling in One Direction which look very similar to the coin at hand.
Neng Vang: Please send us a photo of your 1955-D Lincoln since there is some serious doubts of the misspell.
Well, if it really was a double "Y", that would be a worthy of a real hoot. (I'll have to check that out with the boys in the barn.)
Thank you for the new display. What you show seems to be Machine Doubling and looks like what I've seen labeled as "multiple machine doubling in...
Doesn't it make a difference if Beng Vang also found a double Y? And is cpm9ball implying that one die was used 563,257,500 times?
It may be an effort, but a tripod is basic for good focus. On the most recent photos the Obs shows sharp focus at 10 o'clock and hairlines, and...
You've gotten good illumination. Now work on the focus.
On second thought. I was probably seeing a misaligned dies, which would account for the disparity of thickness.
You need better illumination. And even distribution. I'm sure the rays on Peace's head are not that much brighter.
Sounds like finning. It would be good to see full views on both sides.
It's hard to make a judgement with a poorly focused photo. It also should be uniformly lit.
Following Paddyman's reference I looked at the obverse side and saw a fattening of the rim over STATE OF AMERICA.
It would be better if the lighting was uniform and not coming from 3 o'clock. On the first photo of the Obv, the face is incognito.
You need better lighting. The first coin would be a good one to advertise head wings, but why is the wearer afraid to show her face
Ksparrow: That 1928 is a real beauty. And the photography is perfect.
Thanks to Kanga, I took another look. Not sure that the doubling of the roots was part of the design, but then I saw pronounced doubling of the...
I see no hint of an S under the D.
Kirkuleez has the best explanation why straight lines appear to be under images. This clearly shows in the most prominent line going through the...
It's curious how the the last three letters of the motto are noticeably higher up than the other letters.
Separate names with a comma.
