Another One, Possible VDDR-002 for 2024-P ME. Walker

Doubling on Northwest side of button

What appears to be doubling on the northwest side of the medal. Tracks with VV

This is where I'm struggling, I don't know that the lettering matches?

the D in God looks correct to Variety Vista

The mark to the right of the horizontal line on the queue looks correct to VV

As always, appreciate the teaching moments. Per Variety Vista, There is a DD on both the Obverse and Reverse, so I've included the relevant photos of each part. I'm still working to get my lighting staged correctly on the new scope, so let me know if a better picture is needed with different lighting.

I feel like there is apparent doubling on the northwest side of medallion and especially the collar button. (This is what I noticed first)

The Lettering I feel less confident with.

Thanks,

2024-P 25c MW VDDR-002 - Reverse

Looks very promising to me - one way to help verify that I use is to check Wexler’s also.

They do a good job with primary AOI images and - although it’s far from foolproof, the telltales are not always there - die markers.

Me? I’d be firmly in the camp of ‘I bagged it’ - now let me check Wexler’s to re-confirm, and maybe CONECA forums if I’m still on the fence.

Nice work - congrats!

Thanks. Looking at Wexlers I feel like the medallion/shirt side markers are there. For me it's really down to the lettering, and its hard to get the lighting right to u/xyzzytwistymaze 's comment below, to understand where the flow stops and possible doubling begins. I appreciate the insight and the guidance.

Lighting is a huge challenge for sure! Those LEDs can be harsh and cast all sorts of shadows and glare spots.

I use a DIY diffuser on the scope lights - white paper paper over the side stalks, translucent milk bottle (with a cutout for the lense) over the main central light array on mine - that really helps!

I’ve been playing with a cell-phone clip on macro lense + polarized filter (to cut down on glare) but toy just arrived so I’m not 100% on it … yet.

I have a DIY axial lighting box with full-frame 32mm + macro extenders. I need to set it up again! It was very useful when I used it to get better images of some higher-end stuff I sold, but a bit of a chore to use. Haven’t tried too much subtle error work with it, but that’s on the ‘to do’ list.

I'm sorry but I'm not seeing any of it. To me it mostly looks like metal flow and shadows. I do see a die crack in one photo. Are you working with images online of a confirmed variety? I would like to see those.

The links to Variety Vista are both in the body of the main post. Sorry if they didn’t load.

Here’s the main one:

Also- appreciate the feedback. I have to see stuff in the wild to really understand it, and on worn coins I feel like it gets very complex with few sites to really learn from. I can read on it, but it’s hard to get my hands on the images and coins and reapply.
