[QUOTE="desertgem, post: 2666387, member: 15199"]No , I was just saying that mainly only the widely separated DD, such as the ones mentioned, can be seen as such by the average photo, such as cell phone, etc. that are usually posted on the forum or ebay. Now some members do take photos expertly , and with good magnification, so they would be the exception. When looking straight at a coin photo, you are seeing a flat image, so it is difficult to tell if the secondary 'doubling' is flat or if it is raised also like the primary image. It may not be the same height, but it will be raised a little if it is a DD. When you look at the coin in hand with a loupe, you can tilt the coin as you observe it and see if the secondary image is flat or at least somewhat raised. I saw the images on the 72 coin you showed as flat rather than as raised, unlike the 1971 coin previously where it was definitely raised. The comments only apply to the classic hubbing and not in my opinion to the newer single squeeze 'DD'. Jim[/QUOTE]
