Robert - You're asking the wrong dude...I don't know much of anything about microscopes - what little I do know I had to learn by reading before I bought mine.
I would imagine it's possible to view both sides of the coin at once with some mirrors and angles, but something like that would likely be prohibitively expensive.

Chuck, did you get my letter with the 1951-D article?

Yes I did, Garry...yesterday, in fact. For what I can see in their photo, it doesn't look like any thing more than a die gouge or a die crack of some sort...but then again, that's from a periodical quality B&W photo - I might change my mind if I ever saw one of those in person.

Thank you, Chuck, that was my first impression also! All known cases of extra mint marks are fluid lines. Alkso digits in denticles in indian cents also are easy to identify. But the Coin World article includes a photo of a photo of a worn coin. Hopefully one of us will find better one.
