    If you can't see it, we won't be able to either. Just take your phone camera and wait for it to focus enough to at least read the letters. BTW, you can post more pictures in this thread, just click the upload a file button and put in your new image.

    do you have a phone? They take better close ups than a normal camera for something like this. For example, I have a Cannon, but my phone takes waaay better pictures of coins than it because phone cameras are made for this kind of thing.

    Very interesting, what I can see of it, but you really do need better pictures with sharper images. They're blurry, out of focus - fuzzy.

    Use the camera on your phone, about 6” away. Crop and post to full size, not the thumbnails.

    Two more suggestions..

    There is no need for a new thread. Try to take a better picture and post on your original thread.

    Next, If you think you have a Mint Error coin create you thread over at the Error Coins forum. First find of what you may have. Then worry about value afterwards.

    One of the tricks of taking photos with a camera is stabilizing it. Try this...

    Can't hurt, use different cans for different sized coins.

    I think it's unbecoming to acknowledge this level of hopelessness.

    I'm imagining reading this line in, oh, 1990 or 2000, and trying to figure out exactly what the joke is.

    Used to be a Cannon shot round explosive balls at a target or the enemy.
    Today a "Canon" can take some nice photos.
    Be careful what your canon/cannon you use for your photos.
    Please include images of both sides of your target.

    I always wondered how the phrase "blown out" was derived.
