Use the 'free image optimizer' below the 'image upload.' This should straighten out the oversized pictures.

Your correct....I do see the 2012 pics but the last ones are some cute baby pics...
Maybe it's me...but I click on photos and see kids (and an interesting mask)...no coin
Edited to add:
OK...right click on the coin pic (in Facebook)..select "copy link location"
Post THAT link (control V) here...it worked for me with your mask pic

 Other obsions are: 1. To buy a magnifying glass and check it out yourself. 2. Try to find a coin store in your area and ask them 3. Ask friends or relatives if they have a digital camera and borrow it to take photos of that coin. And I would like to add if that is in a Folder, take it out. Appears to be an old Whitman Folder and the back of those slots is usually full of the glue used to make those things. So is that yours? Where did you get that one? |

Welcome to CC! Your coin is damaged. Seems like the 1's in the dates suffer the most.  |

That's not damaged. It's a nineteen four-ward slash.  |

I just got back from a local coin shop...he has been in business for about 40 years.....he said its absolutely an error.....a "die chip" error......he said when a coin is struck it softens and raises the metal up and the a "die" comes down on the coin to give the raised effect and when the die is pulling up a chip fell onto it creating this error?......I don't know much about the coin making process so I might be off a little bit with how I described it but this older gentleman really knows his stuff.......so what does everyone think now that I have more info?.....I am still waiting for my sister to come over with her camera so I can take some better pictures of it.....

Here is my opinion. If your dealer is correct then it isn't like the other coins in this thread and everything discussed so far is useless. My suggestion is to take a decent photo when you get the camera and post them on a new thread. Then we can start over and let you know just what you have.
