    What would you say it is? Pics are not the best, so I apologise for that.

    Any Ideas? Looks really 'red' in person, if that helps any.

    Bit of wear on abe's cheek, wear on the steps in the middle, black spot on reverse, looks like maybe dirt? dust? mostly visible on obverse. At least abe is still sitting on the back that's usually the first to go. AU at best but I'm thinking it could only be an XF.

    Yeah, all of the dusty stuff is from my scanner. Some dust got under the glass, and it shows in every scan. Ugh.

    What about the crusty looking stuff around TRUST? On the coin or scanner? I know I gave up on using my flatbed to scan coins when it did a good job the files were to large to post. Looking into getting a microscope camera so really tight shots.

    Yeah, the 'Crusties' are from my scanner. I have a camera, but when I try to get pictures, I have to block the only light I have, which is a regular lamp, resulting in the need of flash, blotching out the coin completely... It is a pain, but I try. Cant wait to see pics with that cam!

    So just do a Save As and change the file type to .jpg or .jpeg - then the files will be small enough to post ;)
