    Is it an error? The extra claw? Or was it decided that it isn't an error?

    I have to buy a good camera. I am using my blackberry and it is not working out. I just wanted to find out if it was labeled a variety or is it a real error?

    jz.... you can use a jewelers loupe to magnify your pictures while using your Blackberry.
    Hold the loupe up to the camera lens, and then try to get the correct distance you need for a clear picture....make sure you use a medium or small picture size on your blackberry, with a full screen, and you may need to provide a separate light source (like a flashlight or indirect light source).
    Then e-mail the picture to yourself and download it to a file.... then try and post it... if you need to re-size the picture, you can get a free photobucket account for photo re-sizing.

    These are the Blackberry photo settings that I use..located in the "options" feature on your phone..


    Default Flash Setting: Automatic

    White Balance: Incandescent (you may have to choose another balance).

    Picture Size: Medium (1024x768)...you may have to choose the small setting depending on your photo re-sizing.

    Picture Quality: Normal

    Viewfinder Mode: Full Screen

    Color Effect: Normal

    Geotagging: Disabled


    I have a 16GB media card in my phone so I just keep snapping away until I get the shot I want, and then delete the ones that didn't turn out so well...

    I'm not 100% sure, but I believe I read somewhere that it was a die chip...

    ok my picture is clearer, but the claw is hard to see. It is fuller than the one on ebay. I completely goes over the top of the 2nd to last claw and u see how they all go to the left, this one curls to the right. It isn't a piece of a claw it is a full claw.

    It is basically in the same spot but it starts from the top and goes all the way down to the end of the claws.

    I started noticing those shortly after they began circulating and just started keeping
    some. I have a handful of 6 claw 4 or 5 of the 7 claw and even a couple of 8 claw.
    I always thought they were interesting.

    I have one that looks like the 2nd picture but one that is fuller and goes entirely over the 2nd and to the tip of the last claw. It is cool even tho it isn't an error (total keepers), but I will be able to post a cool picture like yours tomorrow (yea!)
