montypython New Member United States 41 Posts	Posted 02/26/2020 12:25 am Wanted a second opinion on this, please, or the proper nomenclature for what's going on. Looks like an early stage die crack before a full chip on top-right of Memorial. Thanks in advance! Report this Post to the Staff

montypython New Member United States 41 Posts	Posted 02/26/2020 9:31 pm Thanks everyone for the compliments and the input! I've been trying to improve my macro photography of coins--it helps when you work in the visual arts for a profession and have access to a nice camera and lens and know the general lighting principles. I actually write a CRH column for my local coin club newsletter and supply my own finds and photographs, so it's a good excuse to get in some regular practice. One day I'll feel good enough about my work to shop my skills around and make a few bucks with it. TBH, I got a lot of great information from the photography section of the community forum. @John1. I know, out of almost a roll's worth of culled 1960 Ds, only one was a small date! This one wasn't it. haha Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/27/2020 8:51 pm On of the RPMs for that year has a marker like that. (I forget right now which one.) A closer view of the mintmark might be helpful? Report this Post to the Staff
montypython New Member United States 41 Posts	Posted 02/29/2020 3:50 pm Coop, Will do. Was just about to upgrade my setup a touch so I could get better macro scaling on the images. I'll isolate the mintmark and add to this thread. Thanks for being a legend! LOVE your informative images. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/29/2020 5:09 pm Seems like images we retain a lot longer, than just reading posts. So having a description, with an image, the picture is painted and remains longer in our memory. Report this Post to the Staff
