coin rejector Pillar of the Community United States 2834 Posts	Posted 06/13/2025 2:10 pm (For the record) I'm not saying your coin is DCAM, just saying they are rare. Your pics are fairly small, but if you could supply bigger, sharp/detailed pics, we'd probably be able to give you a better idea of grade. Based on your pics, here's what I think I'm seeing.... https://www.pcgs.com/coinfacts/coin...1c-cam/83371 Report this Post to the Staff

panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18644 Posts	Posted 06/16/2025 09:23 am crop your photos. and adjust your focus. 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 cant 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 Report this Post to the Staff
