<p>[QUOTE="Kasia, post: 2896083, member: 31533"]OK... couple other things....seems to me the liberty doubling is CW, while the date is CCW. A true one would be a class I CCW with not only the lettering all being forced to go in a CCW direction, but the coin would also have to have a little doubling on Lincoln, visible in some areas. This one seems non-doubled where you should see it, i.e., the photo is showing enough that if it had been doubled at those areas, you should see it. For this type of doubling it would be a physical impossibility to have the liberty and the date doubling to go in opposite rotation. And the reverse is not clear enough to see the die markers for sure, but I have the impression they aren't there. Lastly, the rim seems too wide to flatten with wear and still provide clear doubling on the letters. This ddo should carry a sharp rim, and one that would not have as much flattening without impacting the lettering.</p><p>I am no expert, but a lot seems hincky with this and to me, if I am correct with the rotation of the liberty being opposite from what it would be and the rim too wide for a real one would seal the deal, bad pics or not. Other eyes on this???[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
