Dearborn Moderator United States 97436 Posts	Posted 05/16/2023 11:16 pm Looks like a small Ridge Ring was forming on the coin - this is what deformed the motto IGWT. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn." - Benjamin Franklin 7070 type set coin count: 51/76 Uncirculated American Silver Eagles My American Silver Eagle Proof Collection Sacagawea Dollars Innovation Dollars Eisenhower-Dollars Kennedy-Half Dollars Washington-Quarters Roosevelt-Dimes Buffalo-Nickels 1938-2005 Jefferson-Nickels Lincoln-Cents Report this Post to the Staff

kurdlezuit Pillar of the Community United States 1034 Posts	Posted 05/17/2023 09:16 am John1, I use this scope: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BJQ3GJ3C I did alter the lighting a bit though. I cut out a doughnut shape out of a white piece of paper and taped it to the bottom of the ring light around the scope lense, and two circle cut outs to cover the goose neck/snake light lenses to help defuse the lighting.seems to help a bit. * Edited by Staff - Added Link * Report this Post to the Staff
