Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 03/18/2020 10:30 pm Flashback may be distracting. How about a sharp close-up of the full fasces, shown right-side up? Edited by Coinfrog 03/18/2020 10:32 pm Report this Post to the Staff
jonnin Valued Member United States 128 Posts	Posted 03/18/2020 10:48 pm I have one like that (cheap usb micro) and I found that turning off the light that is ON the thing and using a flashlight helps a lot. They are very hard to get a good image with. Great for seeing tiny details, but terrible at making a nice full pic. Takes a fair bit of practice. Report this Post to the Staff

T-BOP Rest in Peace United States 18456 Posts	Posted 03/19/2020 07:58 am Not sure about the top bands being fully split but it's awfully close . Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 03/19/2020 08:55 am I'd say that makes FSB. Very nice. Report this Post to the Staff
Zurie Pillar of the Community United States 5675 Posts	Posted 03/19/2020 09:37 am I assume your question is whether this is a 1942/1-D. I don't think so based on the pics, but it's pretty close. Report this Post to the Staff
RapidlDivCells New Member United States 15 Posts	Posted 03/19/2020 5:20 pm I don't have the best imaging gear. I took this coin to coin shop in Phoenix Az, he said it looked-like the over date. The gentlemen was very professional an polite but he had one eye an slight Hand tremors when looking at my coin. So who knows, still like the coin. Thank all Report this Post to the Staff
Zurie Pillar of the Community United States 5675 Posts	Posted 03/19/2020 6:14 pm Like I said, it looks very close to the real thing. Probably best assessed in hand or with better photos. Report this Post to the Staff
merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 03/19/2020 7:59 pm "close" isn't enough to be Full Split Bands. These upper bands ruin the FSB for this coin, sorry. Report this Post to the Staff
