kanga Pillar of the Community United States 5825 Posts	Posted 07/10/2021 08:28 am The darkness of the image makes it hard to evaluate. When you take your pictures use a dark background (non-reflective black or dark gray). You want as much of the light as possible to come from the coin, not the background.

halfamind Pillar of the Community United States 1484 Posts	Posted 07/10/2021 11:06 am For starters, the "71" in the date should not be squished together and the feather details are all wrong. Compare to photos of a genuine 1871. Report this Post to the Staff
