Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74875 Posts	Posted 09/04/2019 6:31 pm Looks like damage from circulation wear and flattening and maybe zinc rot on the mintmark? Need better pictures though. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
Rachcakes1032 New Member United States 23 Posts	Posted 09/04/2019 8:14 pm No cleaner, just a dry cotton tip. This is the best I could do. Only working with iPhone camera. It's kinda looking like the double I'm seeing might be a shadow (?) it looks so different from another angle Edited by Rachcakes1032 09/04/2019 8:16 pm Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 09/05/2019 04:17 am I would not use a dry cotton tip. As a general rule,don't clean coins. Here are some tips on pic taking:http://goccf.com/t/160092 http://goccf.com/t/116512 http://goccf.com/t/243488 You can also buy one of those clip on magnafiers for your phone.
