John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 05/23/2023 06:24 am RhondaE, It would have to grade at least F-12 to justify all costs involved in sending it in. Need much better photos to grade. In focus and less glare. It looks like it would grade details no matter the technical grade. Not worth sending in IMHO. http://m.numismedia.com/rarecoinprices.htm (click on other series.)

panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18681 Posts	Posted 05/23/2023 08:36 am 1. if coin is in holder, remove coin from holder if possible 2. turn off flash 3. place coin on flat surface with indirect natural light. maybe a window sill in a cloudy day. Use a black or white background to avoid any reflective color 4. move phone about 3in from coin 5. zoom in using your fingers until the coin comes into focus and fills the cameras view finder. if your phone has a portrait selection use that and then press and hold on the coin in the view finder to AF lock it 6. hold phone steady. if you cant then place something on either side of the coin (like books) at that distance and lay phone between them. this will hold it steady and allow you to zoom and take the photo without any blurring Report this Post to the Staff

Ploopy Pillar of the Community United States 1788 Posts	Posted 05/23/2023 1:17 pm Even with the poor photos, the coin is 100% a counterfeit. A bad one at that. The date looks off, and the rim on the reverse, is especially indicative of a cast fake. Compare this coin to the ones on the PCGS website: https://www.PCGS.com/coinfacts/coin...-o-h10c/4334 Report this Post to the Staff
