[QUOTE="cerdsalicious, post: 834750, member: 22135"]Okay Well I am using [URL]http://grading-guide.com/variety_buffalo.html[/URL] for refernce to the double die. Now the one I found last year matches up perfectly. The one I have now was cleaned at some point with something acidic. It raised all the numbers but makes it harder to identify if its a double die. The 9 matches up, there is a chunk in the loop of the 9 and another below the loop at the upper part of stem. there are the connecting pieces between the 9 and the 1, the 1 and the 6 So far so good. Now the problem is the 6 has some mechanical doubling, at the same time it has what I am presuming to be a doublie die (The mechanical is white and doesnt have much definiton, the part I am considering to be the double die area, is sharp, its raised like if its aprt of the die but parts of it are missing) So the issue is I can see what I believe to be doubling of the 6 within the 6 itself. However the only difference is mine isnt shifted to the nrth west as much as the other, its shifted to the west the same but not to the north. Could this be due to mechanical doubling? I need to get a macro setup to help me out. From the way the mechanical doubling is it seems the strike slipped south. Could this explain why its position is off? Someone save me from my wandering mind...[/QUOTE]
