1. Post a front and back image of your coin with a specific question about what you’re seeing or asking about and one coin per topic.

2. Please remove coin from the holder unless it’s US or an official mint case or unless it is graded by a grading service.

3. Images should be taken by a camera or cell phone camera, we ask that members don’t use images through a microscope screen.

4. Always start your own topic, please don’t ask about your coin or post your coin in someone else’s coin topic.

5. Do not send private messages about your coin unless an Admin ask you too and the same for sending emails through the board.

6. No spam. Do not post any links to your coin or other non-coin websites.

7. Always be respectful even if something makes you upset or you don’t agree with a member. You can always get a second opinion elsewhere. If you have an issue then politely ask an admin in an PM. PM’s are for issues, technical and personal, but not for coin questions (refer to number 5 on this list). Our community is not a soap box for complaining or drama, so please refrain from doing so here.[/size]

Sorry but I can't make out any doubling, thickness, split serif's or anything. What is it you are seeing that isn't coming through on the images?

:eureka:
one of the biggest problems i see today,........
is the use of 'scopes' within the numismatic market.

there is a "learning curve" here,.....
capturing close-up images of 'high reflect' surfaces takes a bit of practice.
every 'set-up' is different, so......figuring out exactly "how to" snap images of a coins 'actual surface', is, in reality, a "trial-n-error" time spent behind the scope.

i think i hugeeyes what you are looking at, but could this be "reflect"??? (top of the 'G' in God)

I took another picture of the date and mint mark to see if that helps.

Hi, I think what your seeing is alot of light coming back off the coins surface and hitting angles on the coins numbers and letters. It plays tricks on your eyes!
