1. Post a front and back image of your coin with a specific question about what you’re seeing or asking about and one coin per topic.

2. Please remove coin from the holder unless it’s US or an official mint case or unless it is graded by a grading service.

3. Images should be taken by a camera or cell phone camera, we ask that members don’t use images through a microscope screen.

4. Always start your own topic, please don’t ask about your coin or post your coin in someone else’s coin topic.

5. Do not send private messages about your coin unless an Admin ask you too and the same for sending emails through the board.

6. No spam. Do not post any links to your coin or other non-coin websites.

7. Always be respectful even if something makes you upset or you don’t agree with a member. You can always get a second opinion elsewhere. If you have an issue then politely ask an admin in an PM. PM’s are for issues, technical and personal, but not for coin questions (refer to number 5 on this list).

Here is how to use an iPhone easily and a sample pic taken with it. You really need nothing else:

Well the BE on the coin is from the die being rotated an struck a second time the BE is from liberty but idk how that happens but... U see writhing around the edge of the rim, his bowtie as another chin. An doubling on the rim as well. As for the camera job theres apps u can get that will help with lighting an focusing in on the coin sometimes getting as close as you can won't help them see what needs seen instead of trying to get on top of it try to stay about 30% away from it or untill it looks best in ur screen as to were what it is ur seeing all cameras are different an there all kinds of different kinda of them things lol I downloaded a app that is a magnifier an u can take pics when I get it whereby want an its focused in at its best but try an shoot for the focal point instead of getting it way to close sometimes its better if seen at a little bit of a pull back lol. Kinda like stepping back from a situation an looking in on it instead of being all up in it. I do think its mint error honestly but thats just my opinion. There the experts. 😉 us other folks just have our thoughts lol. Hope it helps an u find out just what it is u have there cause I think its a gem. An again just my option an looking at dozens of hundreds I feel safe to say id have it looked at cause I know what I see but.. I'm just a by standard lol. Very much of good luck to u! God bless

Not too satisfied with it though. Any suggestions for a camera that could do the job better. Not too expensive that means.
Hey Gypsy! I have a Moto G6 and take most of my Pics like this except I use a jar instead of books. Thanks to earle42!!
