Have a look at our forum on photography. Lots of great tips on taking pictures.
Lighting and lighting direction Focal length in macro picture taking Steady shots Photo editing
Tons to read, learn, and apply. It's fun learning macro picture taking and inexpensive photo setups. Most do it with camera phones. Some have dialed up the expense and the level of detail in their photos. Good luck!
I assume that you are referring to split plating? It adds no value. If there had been extra value say because of a very high grade, I believe that it would subtract from that value.
I don't think it is split plating. Why? Split plating is usually in the direction of the closest rim. On the "T" it is towards the center of the coin. So I'm seeing more of a coin damage issue from the image provided. (note the right cross bar is a bit thinner than the left side)
