Newbieee Valued Member United States 98 Posts	Posted 08/19/2023 9:20 pm I figure its probably a minor one but I am not good with pennies so any opinons are appreciated. Hard to get good photos with no glare/ light but I'm getting a little better I think lol Report this Post to the Staff

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19150 Posts	Posted 08/19/2023 9:44 pm It's customary to post full, large and sharp pics of the obverse and reverse; then a photo or two closer-in on the feature(s) in question. Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff
Cereal_Killer New Member United States 35 Posts	Posted 08/19/2023 9:48 pm Based on that pic alone it looks good to me. The doubling doesn't seem quite as extreme as some ive seen but still a good payday. Again, a full picture of the coin will give more accurate opinions as well as sharper images. I hope I'm right because this would be a huge find for you Report this Post to the Staff

Newbieee Valued Member United States 98 Posts	Posted 08/19/2023 9:52 pm I haven't had enough time to try to master the photos but I have learned not to have glare so I'm halfway there. Report this Post to the Staff
Newbieee Valued Member United States 98 Posts	Posted 08/19/2023 9:54 pm I do not have anything high enough quality or I am just not good enough to take full photos yet. We run a furniture business and are jammed right now so I just havent had time to figure it out. I will once we get our wait time down from 12 weeks Report this Post to the Staff
Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74054 Posts	Posted 08/19/2023 9:56 pm Might be Machine Doubling. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
Newbieee Valued Member United States 98 Posts	Posted 08/19/2023 9:59 pm First thought I thought it had both double die and a bit of machine the opposite way Report this Post to the Staff
Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6498 Posts	Posted 08/19/2023 11:41 pm You are holding the phone way too close to the coin. My iPad cannot focus correctly within maybe 4-6" of a coin. Indirect sunlight (like a table in a sunny kitchen but outside direct sunlight), set to square photo, pull the phone back until it autofocuses correctly, zoom by pinching, then take the picture without moving the phone. If necessary, resize using the recommended app. Report this Post to the Staff
Cereal_Killer New Member United States 35 Posts	Posted 08/20/2023 12:20 am Use a flashlight and aim it above the coin so the brightest part isn't on it. The center beam of the flashlight causes glare so just use the outer rim of the beam, then snap the photo Report this Post to the Staff

Newbieee Valued Member United States 98 Posts	Posted 08/20/2023 4:17 pm Here is with the flashlight idea like Cerealkiller mentioned.. I have tried raising and lowering the phone, the quality just isn't there to pick it up. Report this Post to the Staff
Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6498 Posts	Posted 08/20/2023 4:31 pm Well, if coins are your hobby, then I recommend this little $8 magnifier from Amazon with free Prime shipping. All my magnified pictures are taken with that little plastic gadget. Other folks have made similar recommendations. http://goccf.com/t/446114 Report this Post to the Staff
Newbieee Valued Member United States 98 Posts	Posted 08/20/2023 4:54 pm The image I just posted is with a microscope but I think due to the machine damage when I put too much light on it they morph into one device. Is that possible? Report this Post to the Staff
Newbieee Valued Member United States 98 Posts	Posted 08/20/2023 4:59 pm That is what made me think it had Machine Doubling the opposite way. Almost as if it shoved the doubling towards eachother Report this Post to the Staff
