HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 25329 Posts	Posted 06/24/2024 03:35 am Could you post a larger image - properly cropped? With a handle like "Macros", it seems like that would be a snap for you. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34419 Posts	Posted 06/24/2024 06:40 am The mintmark being filled in is due to a so-called broken post on the die. It looks to me like IDWT is also struck a bit shabby, such as from the die being toward the end of its useful life.

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19171 Posts	Posted 06/24/2024 07:41 am Agree--broken post (die chip) in the mint mark, along with some circulation wear (modest flattening); not uncommon. Can't discern the other feature. Report this Post to the Staff

Try this topic for help: http://goccf.com/t/422658 For this coin, size was not an issue so much as cropping was, which should be pretty easy on an iPhone. I say this because it is easy on Android, and the iPhone is supposed to be easier.
