    Here's some side by sides for easier viewing and I also included a closeup, of the die scratch that runs from the bottom of the 1st T through the lower A in STATES ( marker ) . At least what's left of it .

    I'm just seeing die-doubling in the engraver's initials on that one.

    Here's a better shot of the Designers Signature, it needed to be tighten up, the other one was to loose .

    Wexler doesn't have a price guide for this one, which really doesn't matter, supply and demand, sets the market, or ebay . Lol ...........

    Hey Rick I like your shot of the cent. But the 71 just doesn't look natural to me you posted this one on one of my threads. I'm sure that is a white holder but it looks purple to me. LED and florescent lighting tends to do the purplish color. If you use the USB on this, and not using the USB lights. And relying on an alternate light source away from your camera. I have found that I get a lot of them with the bluish purple-ish color. That's because I'm using a florescent light as background light. I have found if you use the same lighting set up but filter that light with a white piece of paper you get a better quality photo without the purpleish color. Give it a try Rick.:snaphappy::blackalien:Here's an example with the white paper filter.PS you can also use that white paper to reflect light back to show your dark spots. It's all a work in progress Florida chips-1.jpg

    The overhead light I've been using is LCD and so are the lights on the scope too . As for the 71, those took 20 minutes to take and they were good for what I needed them for ...

    That because the coin is sitting in a Styrofoam cup and the rim on the cup is holding in the color of the coin, it's from the overhead lighting ( LCD ) and the scope lighting too ( LCD ) .

    That is the correct color of the coin .....

    Rick here is my 71. My old USB camera I bought last year I did not use the LED lights on it to take these photos have an 18 inch florescent light on my workbench. Which puts off too much light so I filter it with just a white piece of paper and this is the results I get. ct12-30-1.jpg ct12-30-2.jpg And actually took me longer to find the coin than it took to take these photos. I would say less than two minutes.But Rick I guess each camera is different in each coin looks different I least I know the ones I have do. But it's fun isn't it Rick. USMC60
