    This is the only other one thats bugging me. Certain letters look huge to me (The L and two "U"s) on the reverse of this penny. Some the B and R almost look tripled. It looks like MD to me but I just want to be sure before it goes into my copper jar.

    Die Deterioration will cause that effect on the letters.

    I completely agree with Paddy. I also agree with Islander on the good pics. One thing I've noticed with DD is the top of the letters closest to the rim seem to fade. There not crisp or sharp as they should be. But there can be more things that cause this. Since it's a wheatie I'd still keep it!

    Coin wasnt too shiny so it took to the camera well. Plus I try to take my time. Worst possible thing that could happen is that a coin is identified as a legit DD because of bad photographs. My mind is always trying to "eliminate" coins. Plus, this one is cool to me in its own way because of all the various "waves of copper" lol.

    I always think of this below when I see coins like the above. I think these terraced rice fields in Sapa Vietnam are beautiful. I wish we had them here in the States.
