Also on obverse there is a crack of the die. Edited by Anzelmas 11/30/2024 4:32 pm Report this Post to the Staff

HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 24953 Posts	Posted 11/30/2024 4:34 pm Anzelmas, this would be considered a repunched mintmark, or RPM. Excellent coin and really good photos, by the way.

Anzelmas Valued Member Sweden 171 Posts	Posted 11/30/2024 5:43 pm Hondo Boguss, thank you for your answer. I am not very happy with my photos. I always get the right side of the photo little bit blurry. I can't understand why? Has this coin with this error an extra value? Report this Post to the Staff
HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 24953 Posts	Posted 11/30/2024 6:26 pm I don't think that there is a tremendous premium associated with the RPM, but who knows? I bought a RPM Swiss silver ½ Franc at auction, and I was the only bidder. It was probably a couple of dollars high, but not much. It all depends on if you can find two bidders who both want it. Quote: I always get the right side of the photo little bit blurry. In some way, your camera /phone is not perfectly parallel (or perpendicular?) to the coin. How are you positioning it, and what is the coin on? Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff

But no matter what angle I take photo, the right side of the photo is always a little blurry. I think it's a camera problem. I put a coin on this bolt when I take the photo.

HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 24953 Posts	Posted 12/02/2024 01:29 am On that bolt? Perhaps you should put some padding on it so your coins don't get scratched!!! This is how I photograph my coins. I put my camera on top of a box of scale calibration weights with the coin below. A gooseneck LED light is used for illumination (not shown in picture). Set picture to "square", set the timer for 3 seconds, and set HDR to "on" (if you have that option). This is basically the method developed by Earle42: http://goccf.com/t/422658 Note: the demo phone is an old broken one that is upside down.
