I stumbled across to me what looks like a double die or another something was also minted on this coin. You can see outlines and letters where there shouldn't be any. Please be gentle with your words as I've seen some pretty harsh comments on other posts. I'm simply trying to understand why my great grandfather kept and passed these coins down. There are tons more errors however these are what I was limited to upload. Thanks for your help and kind words in advance. Report this Post to the Staff

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19126 Posts	Posted 01/04/2024 8:41 pm The images posted--while large--are not sharp. They appear soft and somewhat pixelated. Full, sharp images of the coin (entire coin) obverse and reverse would tell us much more. Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 01/04/2024 9:08 pm I'm most interested in the date. That looks most like a rim bruise, but could be a Cud. Please give us better pics. Thx.

Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6464 Posts	Posted 01/04/2024 9:12 pm 6-8" is the closest a smartphone can get without blurring. I recommend you read the book stacking post on the coin photography forum. A lot of people saved bicentennial coins as something special. I wouldn't give up on this coin just yet, but we need better pictures to help. Report this Post to the Staff

They can't be blurry like this and must be cropped. Try this... http://goccf.com/t/422658 Shop CCF Members on eBay. Report this Post to the Staff
Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5770 Posts	Posted 01/05/2024 09:30 am This may help with taking clear images. One thing I find myself doing sometimes is getting to close to the coin when taking the images. It looks fine on my phone screen but when looking at them on my pc they are blurry like these. Keep trying. You'll get there. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow. Report this Post to the Staff
