<p>[QUOTE=&quot;iPen, post: 2060731, member: 69760&quot;]Well I took some photos with the microscope camera that came in the mail today, and I hope these photos are a little better (I&#039;m still trying to work out how to use it best). It shows staggered increases in relief (at least 3 but could be more), and an overall super high relief at the highest point (3rd photo illustrates this; through my loupe I can see it is <i>much higher</i> than the portrait of Susan B. Anthony at about 2x height). I don&#039;t see doubling on other parts of the coin on letters or the date, as those are sharp. Could the mint worker have repeatedly punched the mint mark into the die multiple times to get this effect? As mentioned previously, there is also what appears to be a die crack or something at the highest relief point on the MM. Thanks in advance.</p><p><br /></p><p>The first photo is with the coin upside down. If these photos aren&#039;t clear enough, I can try again.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]379909[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]379947[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]379910[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
