merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 04/26/2021 6:36 pm I wish I could see the coin to add input, but the photos are (still) too dark. Report this Post to the Staff
JoshA113n Valued Member United States 70 Posts	Posted 04/26/2021 6:56 pm I turned the exposure way up, hopefully this helps Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 98106 Posts	Posted 04/26/2021 7:06 pm it looks like the laminations were separating when the copper was rolled out into a sheet prior to being punched out into planchets.. Kind of like roller lines with the laminations sticking to the roller a tiny bit.. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

Rothery Pillar of the Community 2145 Posts	Posted 04/26/2021 9:33 pm Just flat letters from over a hundred years of wear. And the so called "Lamination" may just be from being harshly wired brushed? Report this Post to the Staff
IsThisAnything Valued Member United States 440 Posts	Posted 04/26/2021 10:11 pm Rather than tweaking photos, have you tried no filters in direct sunlight? That's how I do mine and they're decent enough. I'm with Merc, I can't see anything well enough. Report this Post to the Staff
JoshA113n Valued Member United States 70 Posts	Posted 04/26/2021 11:59 pm I am going to go back to my old method of photographing coins bu stacking two loupes and attaching it to my helping hands. This scope allows me to get extremely clear microphotographs but they don't upload the same once resized. I'm not kidding when I say I have acquired multiples of every date and mint in the Lincoln Cent except 3, 65- current Washington, and 40 - current Roosevelt's and Jefferson. Now I spend countless hours trying to search through and categorize. I have two 150 page books and a 4*6 case full of nothing but laminates and other major errors. Should I begin with those, continue looking for varieties, or move on to uncirculated Report this Post to the Staff
IsThisAnything Valued Member United States 440 Posts	Posted 04/27/2021 12:14 am The clarity is there on most of the pictures. It's just the whole coin images that I think would be better in different lighting. I would say search what you want. It depends on what your priorities are with these coins (assuming they are all stored properly). I would go straight for the errors, but I'm biased. That's my favorite category to collect.
