I do see that the outer ring appears to be a different color, maybe material. Could it have been a really worn one and someone decided to put a bezel around it? Why? No sign of a hook or anything as if it were meant to be jewelry. Don't know how much better these pics are. Working with what I got, sorry.

I just don't get why people would do something like this... I appreciate the help and I promise, I have much better things to share. I need to setup my DSLR camera and try to get some good pictures... My issue right now is, do I want to spend the money to have things graded...It would likely cost me a small fortune to have what I want graded done....
Thank you all again!

So, no one wants to believe its a SLQ punched into a nickel and make me rich? lol As always, thank you all. I have found great people in a Jeep forum for my Jeep and I am glad I took the step to join this one for these coins! As soon as I have the time, I will setup my camera and get some coins loaded up. Hopefully the DSLR will do justice.

 to the forum. You came to the right place for coin questions for sure.  And yes, it looks like a Dryer Coin to me also. Sorry

I just spent about an hour reading through there after making an attempt with my Sony DSLR. Didn't know this was going to be so painful. I am going to have to do a lot more reading. I think I will either try an iphone lens addons and make a box/stand for it to sit in, or maybe a microscope so I can shoot straight to the Pc. Lots more reading to do. THANK!

I have ordered a gray sheet. Someone had a link posted in the photo section, but the site was down for ordering. It was $3 there, ordered one for 9 on ebay. I have also discovered my sony a300 has a macro setting, so I will give that a shot. I plan on making a light box. I have some ideas based on some reading. I have tons of LED bulbs around...So, I will tinker while waiting for my sheet.

Why do people counterstamp modern coins? The OP has a 1961 LMC with a 2 stamped on it. I have one (didn't really pay attention to it because I figured it was just "graffiti") with a 6 stamped right where the 2 is on the OP. Same looking font too. If I can find it I'll take a picture of it, but for now I was wondering why people do it, and is it of any interest?
