  1. Raised yes !reverse edge as well coin came out of a old Whitman hard case holder could not take a very clear picture while in holder so I took it out I'll post some more clear pictures in a moment I dont have a high dollar monitor connected to a stereo microscope just using my grandfathers old 8x loupe as a lens

  2. It amazes me how nobody has even picked up on the doubling all over this coin in efforts to prove me wrong I am not trying to be right which is what this has turned into I was just looking for positive feed back on a coin that happened to be interesting to me to due to its characteristics so I'm not trying to be right nor argumentative about anything yes there is a million ways this could have occurred but I believe we all are capable of learning something new each and everyday and I do every time I open this forum 

  3. I have no clue honestly but I just cannot wrap my head around how I can have a coin for so long only to later find another coin with the same indention I've always wanted to find another coin of it's kind for comparison and I thought I did today which is still mind bottling because the odds of finding another coin as comparison was slim to none if it was pmd than I found that one today as I said I'm not sure but look at the odds of that I don't have a clue but I do know that this is Exactly the reason I enjoy numismatics because there is always going to be the chance of discovering the unknown only sure way is to send the both in for examination which I plan on doing thank you guys for the information and knowledge that you have given me on this matter I'm not trying to be argumentative about anything it's just the coincidence out weigh the rest again thanks I will inform you guys of whatever the outcome maybe 

  4. First and foremost I would just like to say that I apologize if any of you feel as if I have neglected to understand the level of knowledge in numismatics that most of you all have as for myself I have not been into numismatics but for a short period of time my grandfather and I would go to different small coin shops during my summer visits to NYC in the late 80'summerthru mid 90's before his passing so some of my small collection were gave to me from him others from time where we would walk from shop to shop where occasionally he would pull out his glass to view a coin for maybe 4-5 seconds per side and to make a long story short I have always remembered him saying when I said pee-paw you only looked at that coin for a few seconds before making a decision if you would purchase it or not how do you know if it was a good one or not He said son I don't know but what if I did!But what if I didn't look at all than I would never know! So thank you again everyone for your input has not falling on deaf ears

  6. Can you please explain how its impossible please? I sat and pondered a long time on this when someone else thought the same way how is it impossible I picked the coin on the left from a small shop today coin on right I've had over 5 or 6 years than to bring the one home on the left today and examining it with my 8× loupe same die characteristics all one has to do is look between the AM on left coin & you can see clearly it has the same width&length die mark just as the one on right!

  7. I was told by someone on here a while back that it was not possible that the coin on the right came from the mint in this condition upon futher research and examining the coin on the left that I picked from a small coin shop today i notice the same die characteristic Look between AM can someone help me on this please thanks
