The FG isn't punched, it's part of the hub and die. Your coin might have been struck from an overpolished die, or the FG might just be hidden under that dark patina. It's hard to tell from these pictures. Maybe spend ten bucks on a magnifier?

Agree--the FG feature (initials) is not punched. Beware Pareidolia. |

Looks like an over polished die issue to me.
Errers and Varietys.

I agree with Brand above, the FG it there from what I can see, your images really need work though, they are small, and a close up would help out on things like this.
Not sure how much of the FG is showing though, some of it may have been erased off the die, as was pretty common on these dates.

I use the same phone as you, and my images turn out pretty nice (I'm using the Galaxy S25 Ultra) I do not use any attachments to it either.

It doesn't say much for your $2100 phone if it can be crushed by a five year old iPad and a $10 plastic magnifier. The right tool for the job always works better. I suggest you pony up the 0.5% cost of your phone to achieve drastically better results. |

Photography isn't how much equipment costs it's the ability and skill of the person using it.

I don't know what you're doing with your images, but you really need to figure it out.
It certainly appears to me that you're taking images from your camera and simply using software to resize them larger. That will always make your images worse. Can't you see how blurry it is?

The last image posted does not even look real, looks computer generated. I am not necessarily saying it is fake, that is just what it looks like to me.
