Hi. I have to preface this by saying that the coins look much redder and better in person than they do in the pictures. Also, my pictures aren't that great through use of a foldaway magnifier and an iPhone. I provided an extra picture that shows the coins looking a little bit closer to what they look like in person. The purpose of these posts are to ascertain whether or not these coins carry a premium over face/copper value. Most of the coins in my Whitman Blue Book from 1959-1974 look like these. Thank you for your help.

Covered in a light film of verdigris and a couple more advanced spots on the reverse.

using a magnifier is skewing your photos and making the periphery out of focus on them . just use you iphone see below for help

AU58

not sure why there are 5 other coins listed. post only 1 coin per thread please plus they are too small to tell anything

1. turn off flash

2. 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

3. move phone about 3in from coin

4. 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

5. hold phone steady. if you can't 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
