MakesNoCentsToMe Valued Member United States 299 Posts	Posted 02/04/2022 7:05 pm Not the worlds best pic's but found this one the other day. It is rather 'indented' (technical term) on the front from about 7:00 to 11:00. Even with my loupe it's hard to see the 'L' in Liberty but under the microscope you can see it.

I've watched hours of YT video's and have spent hours experimenting around trying to get some good pics. I need to tighten up my picture taking game for sure. Report this Post to the Staff
