nick10 Pillar of the Community United States 3207 Posts	Posted 11/16/2021 2:59 pm Good coin pictures are a challenge. For less pixellation, when taking its photo get close enough to the coin so that its image fills the display of whatever device you are using. Note that when you get that close, proper focus might be a problem, so you might need to back off some. Somewhere in between is a good photo. Also, place a sheet of paper over your light source to reduce glare. Report this Post to the Staff

Most cameras can zoom in at least 5 or 6X which would work well for us. Also, please always show us the entire coin, both sides. Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/17/2021 11:12 am Die chips are not a premium for the coin. They are die events. Giving a name to these is usually done by people trying to sell off common coins as something special. After you get seasoned into coin collecting, the newness will wear off and then you will see them as I mentioned. So don't buy any of these. They will be found on the coins in circulation. When this die chip happens, during the rest of the dies life, that chip will always be there or even expand even larger. Look for the real collectables. So when you get settled it, you won't have a book full of just common coins that later you realized you set aside and they are worth less than the 2X2's you put them into.
