DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 08/31/2014 02:09 am I re-shot this coin because it has a great copper color and I like the lion! In this grade, you can also see a lot of interesting details, such as re-engraved letters, an overdate (1919/4), small die cracks, die scratches and what appears to be die rust--producing raised lumps on the coin. I shot this with a new technique that brings out maximum detail. click to see all the detail... Edited by DVCollector 08/31/2014 02:36 am Report this Post to the Staff

Sure, there's verdigris, some of it pretty dark around the rim--but very little dirt. For instance, the raised lumps in the fields around "2 CENT" are definitely metal, and probably the result of rust acting on tiny die scratches. If it's not obvious from the pictures, it sure is when you examine the coin under a lens. Thanks everyone! I like shooting at this level of detail because the photo speaks for itself--all those small details are quite clear. Edited by DVCollector 09/05/2014 6:09 pm Report this Post to the Staff
