Thanks @John1! I'll check out those links. Had no idea what VAM was.

Used an iPhone SE set on top a cup, coin set on a coin cell battery. Fussed with the lighting and zoom to get something that had minimal glare and enough resolution without pixelation to reduce to a 300KB image and still be decent. Used MS Paint to resize/crop. Mini ring light coming today so may be able to improve a bit.

XF, but are the surfaces original? Seem a bit off to me and could detail the coin.

Could you elaborate on the surface? Pretty sure this coin hasn't been tampered with or polished, but who knows.

Could also be an artifact of image compression or digital zoom.

What I see are parallel lines in front of her ear, neck by hair and from the N in UNUM to star 10 all going the same direction, that seem excessive for the wear. Could this be a wipe or cleaning? The reverse has marks and that go in different directions and seems fine. It could be completely original (it is certainly not blatantly cleaned) as it is hard to grade from a 2-dimensional image. It could be the photo compression.

@psuman08 - A couple more photos, but having difficulty getting anything that doesn't have compression artifacts. May have to go get my wife's digital SLR.
