I have an uncle that has introduced me onto coins and I would say I'm more of a hunter then a keeper. I am very novice so I am trying to absorb as much as I can about what is legit and what do collectors want. I have a huge sports collectible collection but don't have the patience to deal with a lot of the bad market right now. So please forgive me if I don't come across correctly on first introductions as I'm dealing with some anxiety issues and I need a outlet just to let my mind be distracted. I take criticism pretty good so please help me get better at this hobby of a hunter and maybe I might find something for you.

If I have Modern US "Error" coins what is the best way about posting it out? I cant find my digital camera and my iphone6 is just a iphone 6 and display on what I can see are 2 different things. I have a scanner but it doesn't seem to illustrate details on finer scales.

to CCF Especially for errors - which often turn on the very finest of details - we need good photos. However, it's possible to take good photos with a smartphone (especially with the add-on microscope lenses) - it takes practice, practice, practice (and good lighting) -----Burton 50+ year / Life / Emeritus ANA member (joined 12/1/1973) Life member: Numismatics International, CONECA Member: TNA, FtWCC, NETCC, EveryCountry (online) coin club Owned by three cats and a wife of 40+ years (joined 1983) Author: 3rd Edition of the Sample Slabs book, https://www.sampleslabs.info/ |

Thanks for the microscope info as I bought one just to get started. For lighting any particular light/distance/backround work best as standard?
