<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Emoticon, post: 1455624, member: 38428&quot;]I&#039;m new at CRHing (on my 10th box) and collecting, but I set aside these last 2 coins I thought were odd. They are probably nothing, but I thought I would defer to more experienced eyes...</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://s8.postimage.org/nhyrn1bjp/coin.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://s8.postimage.org/nhyrn1bjp/coin.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://s8.postimage.org/nhyrn1bjp/coin.jpg</a></p><p><br /></p><p>I set aside the nickel because the right side of the pediment above the columns looks slightly misshapen and flattened out more than the left. I&#039;m not sure whether this is due to wear or not. </p><p><br /></p><p>The penny I set aside because one side is missing. I&#039;ve seen pictures of split planchets with a similar texture, but like I said I&#039;m new at this and it could just be someone having fun with a belt sander.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also can anyone give me tips on spotting DDO&#039;s? I have extremely good close up vision and can easily read the micro-printing on a dollar bill without a magnifier but some of the pictures of DDO&#039;s I&#039;ve seen are so tiny or vague and I don&#039;t see how people were able to spot them without putting each coin under a microscope.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
