luckyrollers Valued Member United States 447 Posts	Posted 06/15/2007 10:53 am HI ALL, I brought a 1961 unopened US Mint set from ebay a few months ago and when I opened it, I quickly noticed a pretty big mark (something like a burn mark) on the Franklin half. I will try to upload some pics for you all later but I would like to know if this is an error? Thanks! Vince Report this Post to the Staff

Southern Yankee Pillar of the Community United States 891 Posts	Posted 06/15/2007 4:11 pm Does it look something like this? There was a tiny hole in the plastic at this location. Must have toned after being exposed to the paper envelope. Report this Post to the Staff

luckyrollers Valued Member United States 447 Posts	Posted 06/19/2007 08:33 am Hi, I'm trying to get a pic of the coin but my camera is not focusing and coming out either fuzzy or blurry. What other option can I do? Scan? Vince Report this Post to the Staff
wdfarmer New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 06/21/2007 6:39 pm Scanning works for me: I've used an HP PSC 1610 multifunction flat-bed scanner & inkjet printer at 600 DPI; I just put the coin flat on the glass and covered it with a dark cloth, scanned it, and then edited it down to 300 DPI to make a file < 100 kB that I could upload. See result in my thread on "1997 D Roosevelt dime: damaged or double-struck?". Report this Post to the Staff
