It's all good. Thanks for the input. :smile
No matter, that is still a very cool metal detecting find.
It is very addicting. Some on the forum do not understand, but I go back and forth between CT and cent searching most evenings.
I do have the Cherrypickers' Guide and try to use it often. However, perhaps because the cents I am working with are very circulated, I have...
I thought it was D/D/D but did not want to hold out too much hope. Thank you for helping to identify it. I am still a novice and unless it is...

OK. When I hit the motherlode, we'll see. Actually, I really can appreciate that. However, should your supplier ever have more than you could...

That is nice! No subtlety there, it is as clear as day. If I may ask, where do you get your cents for searching?
Very funny individual! :D PS tgaw is tripping.
I would repeat except just rinse with distilled water. Also, a cotton swab may also help. It could also be the alcohol. I just remembered that...
"Unlike genuine doubled dies for which the doubling is on the die itself (hence the term “doubled die”), mechanical doubling is the result of...
