<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kevin Mader, post: 7455019, member: 106826&quot;]One thing I was hoping for was to see some photos of the areas with markers.&nbsp; Die stages may affect availability, but useful in the diagnostic.&nbsp; Very well could be die chips/wash inside the bowl of the D.</p><p><br /></p><p>Many things can be gathered by out-of-focus photos, but sometimes clarity is essential to the diagnostic (as is here).&nbsp; Without the coin in hand, anomalies can be misattributed without much effort. Are the vertical bar/bowl doubling missing...or just washed out (e.g., later die stage)?&nbsp; Details on the coin surface...trace elements/devices or signs of wear can help develop the story.</p><p><br /></p><p>Not a shot at Italy8686 or anyone else, but effort to get solid photographs should be extended, especially on threads that run on (usually because members are struggling to make out details).&nbsp; Once the excitement to post &#039;anything&#039; is gone, returning to the photography to get shots that are clear and depict features and markers needed to attribute a coin should be taken at a slower pace.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
