Hello everyone!

I think I posted this in the right area.

Can anyone tell me if this has any Obverse errors and what, if anything this coin is approximately worth?

Thank you for all your help. Hope the pics are good enough, I'm working on making them better, but I would welcome any suggestions.

Thanks again

Sorry, don't see any errors.
Maybe a bit of Die Deterioration.
What is it you see as an error?

I actually would like to see the whole OBV of the coin and the date, LIBERTY and IGWT close up and in "focus"...

Something about the LIBERTY is curious to me...

Hmmm... does anyone else think it possibly looks doubled?

Liberty looks very odd.

Thank you guys for all the input. I'm trying to bring in some much needed cash from thousands of coins I found in box after my father recently passed.

I don't know much about the correct product to use, or the right way (i.e. lighting, background, type of camera/ USB microscope, etc..)
The microscope I bought of Amazon already crapped out on me, but I do have a Samsung Galaxy 8+ that is supposed to have a good camera.
So....

1. Any tips on photo shooting
2. Any suggestions for taking pics?
3. What's a good product to buy to take pics?

Thanks a million. You guys rock!

The photos you took were good, besides not being in focus.

I am not sure the camera of choice I have a OK USB microscope, but wouldn't recommend the one I have... I have seen better ones. ;)

Biggest tip would be to make sure you only use 1 light source and that is is filtered light, not focused light, so it doesn't wash out the details of the coin... but like I said your pics were fine other than blurred.
