Liberty's head on the obverse actually has a sunken cavity. While the reverse has either weird wear marks or misstrikes? I'm new here, so I'd appreciate anyone's opinion. Thanks in advance! (PS: I ordered a digital microscope, so I hope to post better magnification pics soon.) Report this Post to the Staff

(By the way...digging this digital microscope. I'm gonna spend WAY too much time going through my collection with this!) Report this Post to the Staff

MisterT Pillar of the Community United States 2003 Posts	Posted 04/15/2021 6:05 pm Firebird, I too just purchased a digital scope and it took a while for me to work the bugs out. My images kept coming up eliptical because I changed the resolution. Once I set it back to the default at 1.3MB, the pictures remained round. I concur with the group that this is PMD.

Firebird17732 New Member United States 25 Posts	Posted 04/15/2021 6:31 pm I appreciate everyone who weighed in on this. Thank you! And yes, MisterT, digital scopes are amazing. For someone like me who'd used a loupe or magnifier for years, this is like another world. Report this Post to the Staff
