ZanderMan81 New Member United States 36 Posts	Posted 08/11/2024 08:24 am Thanks @John1! I'll check out those links. Had no idea what VAM was. Quote: Photos are pretty darn good,what are you using? Used an iPhone SE set on top a cup, coin set on a coin cell battery. Fussed with the lighting and zoom to get something that had minimal glare and enough resolution without pixelation to reduce to a 300KB image and still be decent. Used MS Paint to resize/crop. Mini ring light coming today so may be able to improve a bit. Edited by ZanderMan81 08/11/2024 08:29 am Report this Post to the Staff

Pretty sure this coin hasn't been tampered with or polished, but who knows. Could also be an artifact of image compression or digital zoom.

psuman08 Pillar of the Community United States 1763 Posts	Posted 08/14/2024 09:36 am What I see are parallel lines in front of her ear, neck by hair and from the N in UNUM to star 10 all going the same direction, that seem excessive for the wear. Could this be a wipe or cleaning? The reverse has marks and that go in different directions and seems fine. It could be completely original (it is certainly not blatantly cleaned) as it is hard to grade from a 2-dimensional image. It could be the photo compression. Report this Post to the Staff
