Waxemm Valued Member United States 450 Posts	Posted 03/21/2014 10:51 am Not sure what this is. At first I thought it was PMD and it may still be, but it looks pretty clean cut. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/21/2014 10:57 am It looks like a die chip. If it were a doubled die, the other devices would have been affected the same around that device. Note how the other devices would be affected if it were a doubled die: With just one device affected it had to be die damage as it is raised on the devices. Report this Post to the Staff
Waxemm Valued Member United States 450 Posts	Posted 03/21/2014 11:02 am Thanks Coop. I didn't think it was doubling. It didn't look right for that, but didn't look like damage either. The lower part of the S looks to be the right size. I just thought it was interesting. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/21/2014 11:21 am Looks like there is a die crack that flow to the top of the inside edge of the "S" as well. I never noticed that before. Report this Post to the Staff
Collector-Corner Pillar of the Community 872 Posts	Posted 03/21/2014 11:23 am Does that 1958 date look a little thick ? And the reverse. the PL in "EPU" looks like it may have been greased filled. Report this Post to the Staff
Waxemm Valued Member United States 450 Posts	Posted 03/21/2014 11:28 am Coop. I didn't notice that either. It's tiny if there. Quote: Does that 1958 date look a little thick ? As far as the date I don't think so, just my awesome pic snapping skills. The PL is week. It may be grease filled, but I see that quite a bit on cents in that date range.

Waxemm Valued Member United States 450 Posts	Posted 03/21/2014 11:02 pm HaHaHa. That shard in the S turned out to be a tiny piece of lamination that folded up to look that way. I used some verdicare and an oil paint brush and it knocked it right off. Coop that die crack is also part of the lamination. Report this Post to the Staff
Collector-Corner Pillar of the Community 872 Posts	Posted 03/25/2014 07:02 am Most camera devices now a days have that MACRO or close up feature that can be turned on for great close ups. Its usually indentified by a Flower. I then will limit myself to zooming in no more than 2.0x, and the picctures come out pretty decent, even on an older 8 megapixel camera. As for lighting, you are almost there, there isn't alot of glare. They look decent over all. = ) Report this Post to the Staff
