Hi aardspeed, this shot was taken with a Canon 7D and an 80mm bellows-mounted enlarging lens. Lighting is 2 LED lights at a high angle, positioned at about 10:30 and 1:30.

Nice camera set-up LaureateBust....
I use a Canon T3i with a Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 USM Macro Lens for my shots...
Still playing around trying to find the best settings.....
What settings are you using?

Is this worth sending in for grading? I mean at minimum I will send in 10 & am just breaking down what to & not to send in eventually...Any help would be appreciated...aArDvArK

I would say not to bother sending it in for grading as there is some corrosion on it and it is a "minor" error . I think the grading costs would be worth more than the error in this case .

I think this coin is the victim of a splash of acid.
Nitric acid or chloride acid would be my guess. It is use in printmaking (intaglio) to etch an image in a copper or zinc plate.
Notice, on the coin, how there is a shadow of some of the burnt out image. The surface has been evenly dissolved away.

The second shot of the OBV in front of the forehead looks more like someone was playing with a Dremel tool, and the more I look so does the rest of the coin.
The REV is anyone's guess.

The bottom of the affected area is still copper-plated, therefore this has to be a strike-through error. Something, most likely grease, came between the plated planchet and the dies. Not worth grading, a novelty piece worth a couple of bucks at the most.
