One more quick question what would be the best way to get better quality photos is there a app or the use a magnifying glass? Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

Are these pictures showing the actual color of your coins? Edited by CoinMasters 07/03/2016 01:05 am Report this Post to the Staff

On IGWT and the date, the direction is toward the rim. That is the direction Die Deterioration tends to go. You can feel very comfortable spending these two. Report this Post to the Staff
