Last One Tonight. I am probably seeing things... I am just not sure what...

[frekkles1973]

Ok, so, I picked up a 1960 proof Benjamin Franklin Half on ebay just because I liked it, if I am being honest. (More money than sense was my thought at the time.) But, I got it in today and decided to look at it under my scope because It looked "blurry" for lack of a better word. And I think I may actually be seeing some doubling. I know there's also some machine doubling. I have a really hard time seeing actual doubling even in pics that people post that are the real deal. So, the fact that some of this actually jumps out at me, makes me think I need new glasses. I figure I will post a bunch of pics and see if you guys wanna think I am nuts too. Couldn't hurt, right? But all the constructive criticism y'all wanna provide is appreciated.

Like I have said before, I really want to learn as much as I can. I watch Daniel's videos and pick up books and look at other sites as much as possible. Any other advice for books or sites to check out would be more than welcomed. I sincerely love coins and would love to delve more into the hobby itself. I'm not in it just because I might make a quick buck with a lucky find. (Although, I will admit that would be nice. Lol)

I wish I knew more and could help! This is a beautiful coin though

There are several proof DDO's for the 1960 FHD

Keep in mind that, most of them are so incredibly minor...... that the only way that you will see them as under high power magnification.

As for your coin, it would be best to match up the die markers to confirm the variety you believe you have.

It is an impaired proof, since it's been mishandled. I can't see much from that, you will see a lot of reflections in proof coins.
