<p>[QUOTE="Bmagold, post: 3662126, member: 105484"]I would like some input or any thoughts I can get on this. I sent a 1917 wheat back I felt was a double die to N G.C. some time ago. The doubleing was primarily in the liberty on the coin I sent. The coin graded out at EF45 but came back as a 1917. The grader acknowledged: the doubleing but claimed it was due to deterioration of the coin. Here were my arguments. I probably have @ 10-12 1917s in about good to very good condition not 1 of them show any doubleing of any kind. An EF-45 is damn near uncirculated so I am pretty sure there isn't much deterioration going on on the coin. MY coin does show doubleing in the date and the legend but it is weak. In the liberty however it is pretty strong in the B the E and the R. I can't find much stating how strong it has to be but I have found reference on how weak it can be. Acording to the Cherry pickers guide it reads quote "Early examples of this rare coin shows doubleing in the liberty " my thoughts are if a coin is liisted as a d/d and it has doubleing it makes sense that it is a d/d I am having a difficult time getting a picture of it as it has been slabbed and I only have my phone camera at present but will try and get an image off a digital camera. I am really not happy about this one[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
