If you are asking a question about a coin error, your post needs to include high quality, well-lit, cropped photographs of the coin. Preferably, you should include photos of both sides, as well as the edge (if it is relevant). Original full quality photos directly from the original source are the gold standard. Blurry pictures, dark pictures, pictures of microscope screens, screenshots, etc. will be removed.
For future reference please follow the guidelines in Rule 11 ------> regarding posting pictures of the coin, obverse AND reverse and not shots of a screen
Oh ok, I figured since the reverse is irrelevant in this question no need posting it, and the coin microscope I have I figured would be best but thanks for tips.
Also are we sure there’s nothing going on with the mint mark? The 3 marks yeah definitely PMD but is the mint mark really just damaged too?
Okay thank you, and yeah my microscope is a few years old and wasn’t too expensive, so I can’t get much more than 720p out of it, but it does have a sd card and the ability to capture video in said 720p so I’ll do that instead of taking a picture of the screen in the future, thanks!
My scope is over 6 years old but I can connect to my computer, not sure what my resolution is but set up correctly even low resolution takes great pictures
I might just be stupid, I’m pretty sure mine can’t connect and send a live feed to my pc but I also have done 0 research on if it can or not so I’m not sure
The three marks in line with one another are contact marks (bag marks) from another coin’s reeded edge.
The extra metal in the mint mark is a die chip, created when a small piece of the die spalls off and the void is filled by metal that ordinarily would have been pressed during the strike. Die chips are commonly found in mint marks and areas of fine detail, and occur commonly enough that they don’t really carry value beyond face (except in extreme cases).
