my 2 buffalos that hav same marking on back of the buffalos leg, is it a double die reverse or new doubling possibly
Your picture doesn't show the coins close enough to tell anything about them. Please provide better pictures. Both sides of each coin and a closeup of the area in question. Thanks!
HERES ANOTHER PHOTO TO CHECK ON THE BACK LEGS OF REVERSE BUT ITS A POINT OR DOUBLE LOOK OF THE LELF LEG SHOWING,RIGHT IN FRONT OF LEG, NOT THE BACK, HAV THAT MARKING ON 3 BUFFALO NICKELS,MOSTLY 1913 I BELIEVE
Looks pretty normal to me. Here's a tip: Try to take pics similar to this..... P.S You can substitute books with a can or jar. Let cellphone adjust for focusing.
HERES 2 OTHER PHOTOS, THE MARK i AM TALKIN ABLOUT IS TO THE RIGHT OF THE SHARP KNIFE, I HAV IT ON 3 BUFFALOS
Hi Salvatore, You'll often find that members need a few essential photos: full obverse, full reverse, and a photo or two of the subject area of the coin. The trouble with digital microscopes is that they often cannot take full images of the coin and the magnification/digitization of the subject area is less than desirable. As Sal has offered, using a setup like that will allow you to achieve photos that members here can use. This is not to say that you can't be successful with a digital microscope. Folks here have demonstrated that. Proper lighting is also a challenge using digital microscopes. And diffusing the lighting is more challenging. Your photos have a blue hue to them and are dark. Finding the right lighting and balance will help members perform diagnostics. This all said, I don't see anything out of the ordinary for your specimens. Another thing to remember is that a thread title with relevant information will help attract members - something like "Possible 1937 D Buffalo Nickel, 3-legged" will create interest and help isolate what variety you are asking for help on. Good luck on the photos. For me, it's half the fun!
Welcome back Salvatore. I took a break between 1985 and 2015. The wonderful thing about it is that the old collection is 'new' again. I didn't know about Variety collecting until I returned...but glad to discover this element of our hobby. Fun finding varieties in old hoards of coins from 30 years ago...or longer. Here's a literal, shoebox setup I use to take quick pictures. Perhaps this will help.
