I find myself checking the obverse shot by using the camera screen and focus knob to zoom in. Then if good I flip the coin over and shoot the reverse. A lot of the time the reverse is blurry and I think it is because I messed with the manual focus when reviewing the first shot....
Yes it is very nice and detailed in hand. Here's one of my CSA notes. The Treasury's signature from one bill goes into the next bill. These 2 bills are the same serial number but the plates are different. The interesting thing is the serial number, which is hand written, is an error on block 6. The last digit is missing.
It's one of the many I have. If I remember correctly these two bills as a set with the error are worth several thousand dollars. I beleive it's the only know set of its type. When I bought them the dealer is a friend and I looked for and bought a few rare notes, this being one of them.
