    I think your fuzzy picture and lack of description might have most of us wondering too.

    I was wondering if this was still the place to post pictures for negative feedback.

    Yeah, it is. If you want positive feedback, try the "Fuzzy Pictures With No Context" forum. ;)

    Only kidding -- what do you think you see in the picture?

    20150624_214138.jpg Actually that is what I was wondering. The top olive leaf that lays over the torch is doubled, Not a major find, but with the mint statement that they have eliminated mistakes, it's just a little proof that they haven't.

    That was the best I could do with a shiny coin. When I crop the photos to blow up the area it comes out even fuzzier.

    tell ebay you didnt get the item as pictured, ship it back with a tracking #. And mail them your meatloaf dinner after it comes out, with the tracking.

    The scope isnt much good without a computer. Got a toasted harddrive and haven't decided whether to have it repaired or just get a new computer. It's an 09 Sony Vaio that was top of the line at the time. All the new ones worry me that they won't last as long as that one.

    If I had a dollar for each pixel in the first photo I would have one dollar. Please take better photos :)

    Probably not your fault with photos though, I know how tough it can be to use those cheap cameras or phone cameras

    Joking aside, It looks like the coin is probably MD. Hopefully next one will be a great find though.

    "Top of the line" 6 years ago was outdated in just a few months. How do you think the computer companies survive? You're better off buying a new computer.

    A shiny coin is not the problem. You need to reposition your lighting and use a copy stand or tripod to stabilize the camera.

    I still use my desktop from 2003! Of course I do not use it as much as my laptop, but it is still going strong!

    You don't understand. I have the coin on a stand, the light on a stand, loupe in one hand, cellphone in the other. Trying to get close enough to pickup the details without shadowing the coin but at an angle so as not to pickup glare and not knock the coin off the stand. Then there is the problem of hitting the button at the precise second it comes into focus. I thought I did fabulous.
