<p>[QUOTE="tomfiggy, post: 2341648, member: 51884"]It does appear to have some strike doubling as well as being a doubled die. In the color pics I took it's not as noticeable. The USB microscope is unreliable depending on the light, and angle the lens is set at. Sometimes it is hard to take a straight on pic and see the details. a plump rounded numeral can look like an incuse valley with the wrong light. I have to set one corner of the thing on the table next to the date and rotate it, and lift the rest off tilting to various angles until the light shines on the date or feature I'm trying to emphasize. The marks above the digits look more like stress lines, part of the copper that was dragged along, and twisted when the coin shifted in the chamber causing a slight incuse area. The closeup straight on shot shows it but the color shots don't.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
