bobberbear Valued Member Canada 84 Posts	Posted 04/22/2013 12:19 pm How would I classify this coin? Extra metal? Missing M? This is the obverse of a 1963 cent! I'm no photographer so I don't know how to adjust the resolution. I'm shooting using a Canon point & shoot through a GemOro triplet 10X Hastings loupe. Any suggestions on how I can get better picture clarity would be welcome! Edited by bobberbear 04/22/2013 10:16 pm Report this Post to the Staff

change4thebetter Valued Member Canada 286 Posts	Posted 04/22/2013 11:04 pm Is there a setting on it called "macro"? If not...maybe a setting like "sport".. then "close up"..sometimes it's a "flower" symbol? Then through the loop....hope it helps. Report this Post to the Staff
sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 04/22/2013 11:38 pm Looks like extra metal at this point. Could be a die chip. Unusual location for such. ?Perhaps impact damage to the die by foreign particle, or temporary intercession by foreign particle? Looks like the high point on the coin has been worn down a bit more than surrouding parts. Report this Post to the Staff
