This 1960 Small Date, I Won't Be Able To Find One Better Raw?

Contact marks on the obverse, nice looking coin ms 65+.

Very nice example. MS65+ works for me too. Outstanding hole filler until better comes along.

[/Pics are ok,but a few too many. It looks like the coin has DDD to me. I would look for a better one.

As of yet I am still not fully aware of the lingo ( DDD) is still new to me! What type of pictures are you guys looking for? I thought these were the sharpest yet. I will continue to work on it. These came directly from a coin microscope, unedited except to resize to fit the forum. These pics are also from a much stronger power microscope way more than a regular 10x loupe. Maybe my problem is matching pictures to other ms-67 coins from PCGS. Again I got carried away posting Pics, practice makes me better and faster.

Too much glare and a bit out of focus. Click on DDD.

It looks like you are using the scope light, which usually causes too much glare for Grading photos.

When I take photos using my scope, I like to bring in other light sources and kill my scope light completely. I only use my scope light for focusing in the Coin.

I use a lamp and handheld pin light. I sometimes use them together, sometimes separate.

Bit of small chatter in the right field, I'd say it could squeeze out an ms66 though, real nice coin for the date.

grospoisson, I am going to help you out. When you reply, switch to "full reply" and look for the little icon showing a page and a red arrow shooting to the right (next to the last icon on the right of the row of icons). This my friend is the quote funcion. Click on the box and you'll get quote commands. Please your copied text in the middle of the two quote brackets, and the finished product will look like this:

As for not knowing what DDD is, wow, you really need to study numismatic terms before posting here! There is a full glossary on the left hand side of pages here, and study a video or two on how coins are made to help you understand what errors and varieties look like. Plus if you still need more term and/or example, use the search box atop every page on the left here on CCF to search past postings to learn more on any subject. Please, become familiar with the three error reference sites and study what true errors look like. By continuing to present coins and ask "What errors does my coin have?" might get you answers, but not an understanding. If you study as I suggested here, you'll personally find this hobby a lot more enjoyable. Bonne chance!
