AweStruckCoinsPN New Member United States 10 Posts	Posted 03/21/2021 10:59 pm What do you guys think of this 2018 Apostle Islands Quarter? Looks like it could be a weak mint strike, but I'm new to this and could also see it being post mint damage. Let me know what you think, I appreciate the help! Report this Post to the Staff

AweStruckCoinsPN New Member United States 10 Posts	Posted 03/23/2021 01:41 am Here are a couple more photos of the whole coin. It does look pretty worn in some area so perhaps that's all it is. Sorry for the rough photos, I'm still trying to get used to the lighting; plus my phone takes ugly pics :/ Thanks for the help! Report this Post to the Staff
AweStruckCoinsPN New Member United States 10 Posts	Posted 03/23/2021 01:53 am Here's one through my looper. You can see how worn it is, making me think it might simply be that...which is what I believe Coop was getting at. Thanks again folks! Report this Post to the Staff

AweStruckCoinsPN New Member United States 10 Posts	Posted 03/23/2021 12:43 pm Thanks John! I will have to invest a little time/money in the proper photography set up...I think that Gray Card background would do wonders! This green felt I use simply so I don't scratch my table or the coins, but it sure is obnoxious! I think part of my problem is I simply have a $70 Walmart phone lol...I will try to use my work phone (which is a much nicer android) and see if I have some better results.
