<p>[QUOTE="Kevin Mader, post: 6444794, member: 106826"]Thanks for the closeup Sley. You can see that the MD has reduced the devices. My focus is on the curve of the 5 and the thickness of the 7. They look normal with MD. Take a look for the markers though. This type of diagnostic is a challenge, but it's also a great learning opportunity.</p><p><br /></p><p>First, you need to identify if you have the signs of doubling as noted by the attribution you are trying to align with or the class of doubling you are looking at. Next you are looking to match the markers relative to the die stage your specimen is. If you don't have the doubling, having markers that are 'close' wont do you much good. In the end, it's the totality of the investigation. And if your DDO has a few other, more obvious attributes...like a mintmark or significant die chips, they help you to dial in on an attribution. Relative to the listing, your specimen's mm is too close to the date. The chip on your coin is more developed than the one in the listing...but you need to keep in mind that die stage could play a factor here when the listing is at an earlier dies state. So, for now, you have a busy coin with a few die stage related issues that add interest. Put it in a flip and label your coin. Don't forget to check out Cuds on Coins to see if your coin has an attribution.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
