Nice one. Pretty severe example of those feeder fingers and the damage they can do when the clearances go awry.

Those edited images might help a bit more for the auction. But you can sell here on the site as well. Did you know that?

I did not know that Coop: If I sell here not as many people will see the coins I am guessing? I DO NEED a better Scope for better pic's..

The images are okay, the lighting is too strong, removing the color, adding glare. Post an image of your lighting setup and see if we can work on that first.

Yep it always has been, it washes out the true color of the coin and gives a glare if they have a shine to them. I takes close and good pics. The scope has the white lights around the lens adding way to much light and if I turn it down the coin gets DARK making a crummy pic lol. What a good scope to buy?

The cheaper scopes have plastic lens on them The good scopes have glass lens. What is the difference? The plastic lens make the coins look purple/pink in their images. The glass ones don't. The problem with the scopes are often the light source. Best to remove unwanted sources and use a better light system, that doesn't have to cost an arm and a leg. The light I use is a 14 watt bulb. It is a 12 Volt light system that was a 6 volt book light. It fits better under the scope. You have to get the light just right to take images and then enhance them a bit with an editing program. What Does the light look like:  Note the item next to the light? I call that a ramp. It help focus the light into the scope:  The 6 volt system worked for a single barrel scope, but when I got the two barrel scope, I needed more light. So I bump the light from 6V to 12v with an adjustable power converter. (I got the unit and the bulbs from Radio Shack, but I believe they are out of business now) But you can probably get these on ebay. The light is called a 'Might Bright' book light. They stop making them, but changed them from book lights, to use for musical instrument lights for school bands. Something with this style of setup: https://www.ebay.com/p/Mighty%2DBri...113751926615It comes with an adapter, but you don't need their adapter unless your not using a two barrel scope) This adapter is 6 volt. The 12 volt with a different bulb works better. Also you need a 14 Watt Bulb: https://www.ebay.com/itm/10-REPLACE...AOSw-A1dET~yThese are what I would recommend for a light setup. I've used them for years. The bulbs, last a year, they eventually turn dark in color, then you have to replace them. But this listing showed for c bulbs. That would be a couple of years of usage. (Looks like these are going fast though) Depending on your setup, the 6 volt system all you need is a plastic grocery bag as a diffuser. On the larger scope, I used a hard square tube (quarter size) and then take a round clear cent tube, put black tape on the upper part of the tube, slide this into the quarter tube, then slide the light into it. Note the scope image: I then tapped out the light holes to fit bolts into the scope old location, used a wire hanger and washers to hold the light tube in place. Fastened the wire onto the bub with a piece of flat metal that holds the light onto the hanger. And stack books up to place the light source on to make the right height. Plug in the adapter, and set it for 12 volt. Then you about ready to start taking images. (I have not connection to the site I post for ebay. Just what I've used for years for my setup) I see they now have also LED setups, but I've never tried them before.

Well this is not just a one on one basis. Others may have the same questions and just haven't asked them yet. So it helps more than we realize. I really appreciate how the new ones catch on so quickly. What took me years to learn, they are learning in weeks. The difference. I was trained with yes or no answers. They never told me why. But I try to share why the first time. It takes a little longer, but learning something new can be helped faster with seeing, rather than just reading.
