Still, could you provide us with the date of the coin? There are multiple sites that list doubled dies just by description and not pictures. It always helps if the date is included...plus, you never know...you may be overlooking a particular listing that someone else could match up.
I think I see notching but am not sure. Was the photo taken at an angle? It looks like the L is closer to the camera than the Y. It could be light tricks. Can you post a pic that isn't rotated and the camera is level?
Ok, I'll humor you. After manipulating your photo, I shouldn't have to by the way, I'll say no. Not a doubled die. The blue arrow shows the direction of the light source. I claim light tricks.
Well I guess that you can't do us the simple and easy favor of providing the date. For what its worth, I agree with jay. My initial impression is lighting giving the impression of doubling.
Providing a date so I can research the doubled dies for the listed year can help with the verification of it being a doubled die...if the description of doubling matches and I can provide you with die markers that you can match up, then that is 100% verification of it being a doubled die. As it is, I think the light is interfering with the notching that you say you are seeing. I am offering to do the research for you so you may be able to verify that the coin you have is a doubled die...There is no harm in providing the date for us. I'll just assume it is a 1983 and will do some research tomorrow.
It's not a doubled die. It's an effect of lighting that I've seen a thousand times. Even if you use a separate lighting source, the angle of the light plus any light in the room causes this shadowy doubled look. The coin is probably a 1983 based upon the look of the lettering but it could be a 1982.
Using proper lighting is important if you want others to see what you see in hand. Parts of the image are blown and others are shadowed. Not a good way to show a coin and ask for opinions.
This Error is caused from a loose hub, I've notice that people like to use the term MD, MD is caused from a loose hub, that is the correct term, period
the hub didn't, but the loose hub did, I would like to see some more photos of this coin, but since no one was nice on this thread, I'm sure he won't post anymore photos, and thats sad
