coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/01/2018 4:13 pm Just a die chip. Pretty common that year. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/01/2018 4:15 pm Just a die chip. Pretty common that year. Check to see if on the examples you've found it the mint mark is in the same location. If so, you are finding examples from the same die. If they are different, then they are from different dies.

Bate Pillar of the Community United States 1937 Posts	Posted 07/02/2018 2:16 pm Thanks Mr. Coop, Da Swampster and Coincentslady. Mr. Coop wher I can find those mint mark information? Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/02/2018 2:19 pm It is on each coin. Make a few marks to see if the locations are the same. Or of they are obvious, then look for markers. Die scratches that maybe in the same places on each coin. You may have stumbled on to someone stash they got rid of with all the same die pair? This is where you need to be creative. You spot raised die scratches, cracks, chips and note them. Then check the other coins to see if they are showing the same thing. You just have to find what is in common, or it nothing is in common between the coins. If the size of the skirts are the same. (they can grow longer on later die states as the die wears or chips even more) Edited by coop 07/02/2018 2:25 pm Report this Post to the Staff

da Swampster Valued Member United States 420 Posts	Posted 07/02/2018 4:45 pm Bate -- I had said but then removed from my comment: If you see this chip on an unc or AU coin you wouldn't call it a miniskirt.. But that works fine with the more worn examples.. Swamp Report this Post to the Staff

Let me explain further: Depending how the chip within the legs of the "R" in LIBERTY on both the 1960-D LD & SD manifested determined whether it'd end up as a "skirted R" or end up, ermmmm -- how should I say: as an "R with a well-endowed male appendage" instead.. Once the coins got some wear the latter kinda turns into a maxi-skirt, but early on it's easy to see the difference.. I just happen to have had examples of both right handy on my tray since I've been going through rolls of unc 1960-D SDs lately, so I just now took a couple quick snaps that I'll post below.. Shots are of the "Rs" in and of LIBERTY + one snap of the date & mm only; no full shots or reverses.. Merely did this at all so you could see the difference as they appear early on.. First will be skirt, 2nd = male then date/mm.. Swamp Edited by da Swampster 07/03/2018 10:34 am Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/03/2018 11:46 am Looks like we need a thread on light diffusion on coins? I've been kicking the idea of photo editing also. Give others the ability to make great presentations. Help them to see the benefits of being able to show what they want us they see to see. Report this Post to the Staff

Give others the ability to make great presentations. Help them to see the benefits of being able to show what they want us they see to see. That's a good idea, Coop.. As I'm sure you're already quite aware though, getting decently lit photos of especially close-ups is a tough nut to crack for those who are using plastic lense USB microscopes.. I knew from jump street I should have purchased a Celestron.. But I didn't, because I was really hoping quality had trickled down along with technology.. I now know that isn't the case, and even with all the experience I've acquired from years in the photofinishing biz I still can't completely compensate for / offset the disparity between glare -- deep shadow inherent in these plastic lenses..

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/03/2018 3:56 pm Some will get rid of the original light soon. That helps the images get better quick. My light on my scope, lasted 12 hours before I realized there had to be something better and I proceeded to set you what I used before on the new scope. The key to removing glare. is to cut it off before it hits the coin. Doesn't take much. A plastic grocery bag between where the light is on the coin is. Cut the glare. The glare from too much light can be dimmed also with white computer paper again before it hits the coin. Even secondary lighting can be but with tape on a facial tissue when you've determined the direction. Sometimes shutting off a light while you taking images is the solution. I live modestly, so I try everything to get the desired results. Sometimes something will happen by accident, then you need to figure out what worked, or what didn't work.
