ComeHonor716 New Member United States 39 Posts	Posted 04/02/2023 10:43 pm I'm a novice, but I don't think its the zinc rot around the devices I'm used to seeing. It's like a smoothe indentation staring at the bridge of the nose and tracing down up to the nostril area. It's deepest at the tip of the know. Tried the variety sites to no avail. Thanks for any input. Report this Post to the Staff

-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8760 Posts	Posted 04/02/2023 11:02 pm In my opinion, it is a lighting issue in your pics, accentuated by the channeling, that was common during this era.

silviosi Pillar of the Community Canada 6244 Posts	Posted 04/03/2023 12:32 am @ ComeHonor716 It is not for the newbies (I hate tis appellative). It is for learning. Your coin is not the what you think before. But still be a very nice proof like 44 coin. For this one I will go 64 to 65. The problem it is no coin was attributed yet PL and in 1944 was no proof done. I say this by the photos provided. In the hand is other story. Nice coin.

ComeHonor716 New Member United States 39 Posts	Posted 04/03/2023 3:59 pm @silviosi I'd still like to get you one of the VDBV pennies to check out. Just email me through here and we'll figure out postage and you can keep the coin. Report this Post to the Staff
ComeHonor716 New Member United States 39 Posts	Posted 04/03/2023 4:01 pm Coin frog I'm new to the photo coin game and trying my best to experiment. What would you suggest lighting wise. I used a led with tissue paper to dampen and a ring light held at various awkward angles. Report this Post to the Staff
