HCIX Valued Member United States 58 Posts	Posted 02/17/2022 01:38 am Not sure about mark at the bottom of the torch. It looks like a line with a bubble in the middle is the best I can explain it. But to be fair I added a pic of an angle that makes it look like a dent in it. I hope to not waste your time on more damage lol. But something about it made me keep looking. If not oh well it also happens to be a coin I need for a birthday folder && also about other dots or spots, the 2 in leaf by word united I can't tell. But I had just thought them nicks in dime. After taking these pictures though the flower closer to states dot does appear to be raised. Also not sure avout spot next to original spot I asked about when I look at it it's just a speck .

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19201 Posts	Posted 02/17/2022 07:22 am Would love to see the coin in-hand. I'm leaning toward minor die crack with the possibility of a small die chip. A close-in pic might tell the story. Report this Post to the Staff
HCIX Valued Member United States 58 Posts	Posted 02/17/2022 07:39 am Jimmy so I looked them up and seems some are damage and some are not how do I know the difference? Is there something different I need to do with lighting. Couple people the other day really did probably all they could to help me. So I did what they said for these pictures. But it's still not right. Ijn I will try to get a better picture. Do have to say I have gotten some better pictures but I lose it in cropping every time. Just zooms until it's blurry. Spence could you tell me how to know? Edited by HCIX 02/17/2022 07:41 am Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 97165 Posts	Posted 02/17/2022 08:18 am Hard to tell with all the glare. try using only one light source, coming in from a n angle to highlight the devices. A close up would be nice. Maybe a die crack followed by a chip would be my guess for now. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

HCIX Valued Member United States 58 Posts	Posted 02/17/2022 08:43 am Ok dearborn I was going to try different angles but you told me the other day or maybe it was John who said to keep it above coin. So I didn't want to try anything new til I got this one right tbh. Still work in progress lol. Also think these were taken with a piece of notebook paper I didn't like what I got with tissue paper Report this Post to the Staff
