Curious to know if you think this is a d/s. I apologize for the bad photo; will try to send a better one if needed.

No telling. It's possible, there were a number of differnet dies, and some of them tend to be a rather bit common. Some don't have much premium associated with them.

The image looks like a photo taken on a monitor with a camera. The only solution I've found to reduce that is problem is to get farther back to take an image. Seem funny those lines appear closer to the monitor, but a better setup with an image taken on the monitor would be better. It takes time to figure out what the best setup is. The rule of thumb, try everything, keep what works for improvement with what you have. Or buy better equipment. But experience & skill will hep you get the best out of what you already have.

The coin in the first post does not match either of the sets of three photos shown below.

The first three photos that show a rather clear D/S are from a different die than the bottom three photos where, if there is a D/S, it's definitely difficult to tell.

All three different sets of photos show mintmarks in different positions, which is one of the important parts of attributing a die variety.
