Mavx31 New Member United States 19 Posts	Posted 09/20/2020 9:02 pm Hello, Is this a 1972 p cent DDO? Took the best pics I could with a loop. The coin is not in the greatest shape. Thank you very much as always for your time and opinion. Report this Post to the Staff

spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 09/21/2020 12:44 am I believe that is a counterfeit, unfortunately. In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020 In Memory of Tootallious 3-31-1964 to 4-15-2020 In Memory of T-BOP 10-12-1949 to 1-19-2024 Report this Post to the Staff
Ty2020b Pillar of the Community United States 4680 Posts	Posted 09/21/2020 01:28 am Very much agree with counterfeit. Nose and ear are both incorrect. Also, there should be a larger spread on the 7 in the date. Report this Post to the Staff

Mavx31 New Member United States 19 Posts	Posted 09/21/2020 07:09 am Thank you everyone. John, these pics are taken with a loop and my phone camera lens. Not sure if I can get much better pics then this, with my current equipment. Anything you would recommend? Report this Post to the Staff

Mavx31 New Member United States 19 Posts	Posted 09/21/2020 10:34 am I'll try to pick one up tonight. I did see one in our local hobby shop. What do you think of the Dino-Lite scopes? Are they worth the buy? I've seen some around 100 online. I may invest in one of those. I'm looking to seriously start learning error coins. Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

Multiple ones to get the correct distance away from the coin. Even some small stackable items to place under the coin. Thas will be important as well for closeup images. Full coin shots will be about 3" and closeups will be about 1" of separation. Enlarge the viewing area as needed if your phone has that capapbility. And remember that light will reflect off the boxes if they are white or shiny and that light may be detrimental to good images, by adding glare. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow. Edited by Petespockets55 09/22/2020 08:36 am Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 09/21/2020 6:08 pm Dinos are nice but a bit pricey. Get one that goes from 0-150x power. I have a $60 Celestron and a $20 Dino. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
