WheatBack Pillar of the Community United States 2850 Posts	Posted 10/23/2013 9:35 pm It's a shame the obverse has a few scratches. I didn't even notice these scratches until I scanned it in. They are very, very light when viewed in person and don't detract from the coins appearance at all. The scanner sometimes picks up more details than I want to see. Report this Post to the Staff

kanga Pillar of the Community United States 5825 Posts	Posted 10/23/2013 9:56 pm Cameras are the same way. It's a combination of the lighting enhancing problems AND the larger image size. The images you posted are 3-4 times the size of the coin which makes the problems 3-4 times as large. Report this Post to the Staff

noahs-numismatics Pillar of the Community Canada 3167 Posts	Posted 10/24/2013 09:23 am Is that a Cud to the bottom right of the 1/200? Nice coin, too bad about the scratches, but if you didn't notice them before, the eye appeal is still there for you. Report this Post to the Staff
