[QUOTE="Brett_in_Sacto, post: 2078797, member: 71510"]This year I completed my ungraded XF/AU set of Liberty Peace Dollars, and started on a rather daunting collection of MS-64 grade to complement the set. MS64 was about as daunting a task as I could afford in the complete set. I usually collect at shows, but I had a bunch of Ebay Bucks to spend, and put them into a 1923-S in MS64 online. Much to my amazement it arrived today, and the first thing I noticed was an extra "band" along the back of the neck. I started examining in more detail, and found a pretty clear doubling on the neck and on the 3. So I started getting closer and closer with the camera on my mobile phone (Yeah, I'm goofing off at work while on a conference call). I started seeing the halo on both sides. I can see the ghost/halo of both the Eagle and Lady Liberty on the opposite sides! It's very clear and apparent, I will get better pictures up in the next day or two once I get the good camera set back up. I know there is a bit of a difference in mechanical doubling and true DDO, but I think the ghost/halo images on both sides are clear - even in the poor pictures below. I'd love feedback, comments, etc. It's listed as a standard MS64 by NGC, and I'm almost amazed that they didn't catch this! I'm excited, and I'm going to have to wait until the next coin show to have someone with trained eyes give it a second look. But right now I feel like I got a great deal on a very rare specimen!
