Thanks all of you, it's a small find but at least its a start (I hope) all though it sometimes feels hopeless I am compelled to keep searching. I go to work and look forward to the end of my shift so I can come home and look some more so....either "sucker for punishment" or just enjoy the hunt. Laughing

Daggit, I belisve the term is a "brite for punishment'. The sucker implies one who is easily "had". I have been , unfortunately part of both descriptions! LOL. I geuss we all learn, eventually.

Daggit, here's one fior you: MD or DDO? It is a 2007-D cent.

take a guess. I asked Coop for an opinion, bur he hasn'r seen it, apparently. my eyes are no good for this, due ti no central vision, so now I have to depend on the other members of the forum. In the last year, my eyes went to "pot", and eventually, I have been declared legally blind. It cost me my drivers license, so It apparently is more serious than I first thought. I had trouble seeing the cars ahead, and determining the distance. It wasn't until I made a trip to Arizona, where I pulled a couple close ones, that I realized there was a problem. Then when my eye DR said I was not legal to drive, I gave up my license. I can see all around, just very poor sight in front, where it counts. Must be the years, ot maybe too much welding. I don't sleep with my eyes open, so it can't be that.

Hi Dick, looks a little shelf like to me but then you are asking someone that is still asking everyone else Laughing

I empathize with you when it comes to vision problems...mine is starting to show wear and tear and I find it difficult to trust what I see. They need to make bigger cents with BIG lettering for us Wink

till then we will just have to bother the pro's here.

Daggit, I figured that might be the case, or maybe side reflection from the lettering. Thanks.

Dick: Some reason my computer screen is larger today and its set on 100% but everything is larger. Now I see what you are seeing. The right side of the EPU has machine doubling. Everything is larger. I had an update on my system and now even the avatars are large. I've been trying to adjust them, but not found the right setting. But something is a lot different. I guess when I see it larger, I thought of you. But it looks like machine doubling to me. I've found a few coins that made me look a second time. Usually when you find them in a roll, there will be one that looks that way or sometimes several. Just depends on how loose the mechanizm was when striking your coin. Markers are a great help. when you find regular ones and MD ones in the same roll you can figure it out what is happening. I had an experience the other day with a huge die gouge. So I started looking for markers on the coin. None present. I went through 6 rolls and none showed the same die gouge. After going through that many rolls and not finding a duplicate, I tried a toothpick on it. Just a gas bubble. So when searching OBW rolls it is a process of elimination as to why one coin looks a certain way and others with the same markers look normal.
