I think I got this one. There appears to be a minor spit in the R. Opinions are welcome.

David: Just looking at the coin I would have thought no. But looking at the images of the site and the markers, they are dead on with your coin. I know I would have missed that one, but you caught it. The markers are fading on your coin, so I would say it was made after the one on the site. The images you showed have too much light at the tops. I know you have a very strong light and have tried to dampen the brightness. But lets try another angle. Are you using a ramp? This tilts the coin so the light spreads to the lower portion of the coin a little more, taking off the brightness a little. I find when I take image of the entire coin, I need to make my ramp steeper to make the coin a little more even in color. I achieve this with a few cents under the 6:00 edge of the ramp. That way light flows down further down on the coin making the lower 1/2 and upper 1/2 the same even color. I have the opposite problem. I have too little light. So I try and try till I get it to work for me.
Another thing you might try: Try turning your coin 180 degrees so the light flows from the opposite edge of the coin. This way any notching/doubling shows better with a shadow. Try these out and let me know if any works. Just just I've tried before.

Coop,

The picture of the T I put my finger under the light. That tells me that it's still too bright. The 4th picture I did turn upside down and inverted it with photoshop to reduce the light on what I wanted to show. It's still a Work In Progress.

I was thinking It was the DDO just wanted to make sure.

David: Time to try my idea with the stand that fastens to the lower holes in the table. That way you can put some distance between the light and the diffuser. That would probably work better than being too close to the light. Try it by hand first to see if that helps. Let me know as I'm always thinking on different things and need to know if it is a GO or a NO.

Definitely a doubled die...nice that you picked that one. I might have spotted it, but only on a red or slightly red-brown coin. I doubt I would have looked at a brown coin long enough to see this....but you're developing the eye - a good thing!
