Perhaps the letter Y is a 'stem' and 2 'arms'. A left and right arm. The letter y is a descender and 2 arms.
I like that description the best, so let's go with it. Let's also use the same terminology for the "T". Using this terminology, you can see doubling extending down from the stems of both the T and the Y, along with doubling below and to the left of the left arm of the Y.
I agree. I think that this might help us variety collectors going forward. Nice to put useful terms to things!!
When I started there seemed to be know it all's around here. I learned a lot, it wasn't just know it all's, it was informed and educated collectors, @rmpsrpms photos were more than adequate to identify the doubling as a Doubled Die. I would have said so, if I had seen this thread 2 years ago. Also would have loved to discuss this coin with any one that had an opinion.
I agree that in this example the photos were more than adequate. Some of the more minor postings sometimes need a written narrative to help draw in folks to what’s being discussed. Having common terminology is a better way of dialing folks in I think. It’s what got me curious to expand research to learn more about the anatomy of the characters. Identifying with the parts in a description or explanation may prove helpful.
LOL. I'm guessing you haven't read this thread all the way through so I'll make a suggestion that you might want to if you have the time. This coin was attributed by VarietyVista.
Hey Cap, you've been offshore for a while, haven't you. No problem. Plenty of time to read the whole thread.
