<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jim M, post: 1259973, member: 4791&quot;]First off, I like how so many people here can form an opinion on a coin when they claim they can not see the coin in the pictures.&nbsp; Interesting concept, ITS NOT A DOUBLED DIE because I can&#039;t see it well enough to determine if its one or not.&nbsp; If you can not see it just say you cant see it and don&#039;t pass judgement based on your lack of information. (pictures)&nbsp;&nbsp; Blow this coin up and look at the lower leg on the 9 then perhaps take the time to look at the thickness of the 5 in the date. </p><p><br /></p><p>MMNS and Ken Potter are not affiliated.&nbsp; Ken knows the owner of MMNS and has looked at many coins for him in the past and I am pretty sure he is still doing it now.. He has mentioned MMNS in an article he wrote about the Michigan State Show a few times in both the Numismatic News and Coin World. Has this coin passed through Potters hands?&nbsp; That I don&#039;t know the answer to but I will late tomorrow after I have conversations with both he and Bob Haire who owns MMNS.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I think based on the pictures that is a 1985D-1DO-002 but without seeing the coin in hand I would not say that for certain.&nbsp;&nbsp; Am I an expert?&nbsp; Define that for me.&nbsp;&nbsp; Potter says I am when I work with him at his table.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>There are several others that come into this forum from time to time that I am sure will chime in.&nbsp; Mike Diamond, Mike Ellis both are gentleman that I respect and perhaps can shed a little more light on this.&nbsp; BUT.. to just flat out say a coin is NOT because you can&#039;t see it in the sub par picture(s). HOGWASH. </p><p><br /></p><p>OP, the people that you would want to have look at this coin (IN HAND) would be either Charles D. Daughtrey, James Wiles or Mike Ellis. Send them pictures, if they can not determine if the coin(s) are what you suspect them to be, they will request an in hand examination of them. I think Wiles is charging 4-5 bucks for his service at this time.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
