PKkid New Member United States 6 Posts	Posted 02/19/2025 3:08 pm Thank you. I will try and get a better camera. And yes minted. Obviously I am new - so the correct wording will take time, and glad I am able to learn while sharing my finds. Report this Post to the Staff

Now if you want to get a jump start on the terms and you're serious about this hobby I always suggest a read through the numismatic glossary ( located on the left on every page) It's a quick easy read and filled with a wealth of info. to CCF good luck on future finds and have fun....

It takes a little practice to get the focus, distance, and lighting figured out. There is a good tutorial in the coin photography section of this forum involving stacked books for stability.
