dhcoins New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 04/20/2013 4:50 pm Hey everyone! I just found this wheat (see pic) with what looks to me like a die crack, or some kind of die defect to me (look at the raised streak above the "B" in "Liberty"). However, I have only been collecting seriously for 6 months, so I would like a second opinion. Also, on a side note, how does everyone get those super enlarged pictures that they post for error coins. I can't figure that out. Thanks!

You have the coin in hand so here is a link for you to check out...http://www.error-ref.com/retained-lamination.html I get my pics using a 2.0 MP USB microscope I got on ebay for around $15.

It is just like this but I won it for $15 + $4.50 shipping. http://www.ebay.com/itm/B7-2-0MP-25...em35c3abcc1c Edited by jay4202472000 04/20/2013 11:18 pm Report this Post to the Staff
