<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Tanton, post: 2781525, member: 85554&quot;]Good call, I have to charge up the battery and do some practicing. The camera gear that is mounted is from the microscope, not anything related to the coins. He passed away in the early 90s so my grandmother has been the one holding onto the monocular. We lived with her up until a year ago when we moved so the pennies hadn&#039;t been touched in over 20 years. When we were moving out she had me hold onto them since she didn&#039;t want to deal with hauling them out. When she was packing things up she stumbled on his bookkeeping stuff and the monocular so she gave me them. Thats how I&#039;ve started to get into all this.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;To jump around a bit, I took a closer look at the lamination error on the original post and theres more going on than I originally thought. I think you were right about it being a possible Doubled die because I compared it to some DDO references and they seemed to match up. A few other things jumped out at me as well though that made it seem even more interesting. </p><p><br /></p><p>Under the M in UNUM on the reverse, it looks like there may be another full but faint M, if not a few in the same area. Its only noticeable with light hitting at certain angles so it was hard to get a good photo of it. </p><p><br /></p><p>Then also it appears that there is other markings/lettering underneath E PLURIBUS UNUM that I couldn&#039;t quite make out... I can&#039;t completely tell but it looks like there are numbers underneath the E PLURIBUS, and a the outline of something running down the inner side of the left wheat between the O and C of One Cent. Again, not sure my photos will do much to show this. </p><p><br /></p><p>From the Left wheat to the O in OF there is a raised even line that looks like it connects to something running through UNITED</p><p><br /></p><p>Hopefully the photos will show at least a little of what I&#039;m describing... It shows when there is a strong glare on it, but couldn&#039;t seem to get a good shot.&nbsp; Would it be possible for this to be some kind of planchet error? The marks look too cohesive to be some sort of PMD I think[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
