Russ Lee New Member United States 13 Posts	Posted 11/27/2024 8:19 pm I found this one while working on filling folders. Day two of putting all the coins into the folders. It's in pretty decent shape for a 1960, I can see a few nicks in the cheek. the obverse rim feels very defined and a little sharp. holding it next to a penny coloring chart, it looks to be around a 63-64 red. pretty sure it wouldn't grade that well. I can see black carbon pieces on it. Any idea of an approximate grade, and a recommendation for a better camera microscope/viewer? Mine is mediocre and I'm getting better pictures with my iPhone...

Solution...just use your phone for pictures then ( those posted look Great) Heard if you put a smaller diameter object under your coin to lift it off the surface phone will focus better...also try to crop out all unnecessary background. Recommendation for a scope...I can't...don't use one. Grade...I'd say MS-62/63.....nice hole filler to CCF...have fun Report this Post to the Staff
