Message:: [QUOTE="rushcoin1, post: 24675280, member: 2791"]I don't really have time to do that right now because I have to rely on others not physically nearby, to do the pic transfers etc.  I do the microscopy and as an example, years ago I purchased and opened a $50 bag of Memorial cents and upon searching it I located multiple DDO's.  The bag itself came from FL and was quite dirty and discolored on the outside.  Upon viewing the contents, the majority of coins had sheared off details as though someone had used the bag as a punching bag.  In addition to that, nearly every coin also had serious environmental damage so perhaps this was stored in a garage near the ocean salt air.  Still, the DDO's had the very same DDO detail as each other, at least on the ones that were not sheared off.  That is how I would explain the detail on the coin herein with the bear in the Memorial Building.  Every one is near identical, barring bag marks, mint cleaning spots, etc.  Hope this is helpful, but I am stacked with VA and other doctor appointments for myself and my wife, through the end of August, so it would be a long delay before I could make the arrangements and provide what you ask.  I do see the reasoning for your request and think it would be a good idea.  Perhaps later I can provide these pics for you.  I have personally searched near a million coins or more since the mid-70's so this isn't something that I just started.  Thanks[/QUOTE]
