Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5808 Posts	Posted 07/04/2026 04:47 am Sure looks like it. BTW- which of the MM images is your coin? Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow. Report this Post to the Staff
Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6617 Posts	Posted 07/04/2026 09:11 am Both MM images are this coin. One with the mini scope, the other with the clip-on macro lens when I removed it from the mini-axial box. The second picture was at an angle, and I think that makes it look somewhat distorted. Anyway, thanks guys! =) Report this Post to the Staff
