Sunlight is actually better, although much less convenient. Set the coin on a tray table, just at the edge of a tree shadow (with the coin in the...
Let me say it another way. Would I pay $10 for this coin? Noooo.
Try a scanner. Scan area, 2 x 2 inches, 600dpi. Lighten the image one notch if necessary. Do NOT scan 8 x 11 and crop away all the excess,...
100% FAKE. Tall spindly numbers, too far apart, and out of alignment. Also, few if any denticles, and stars too far from the rim. Ugh.

U.S. taxes are low compared to much of Europe, but they get more nanny-services. My beef is how much our government WASTES. Don't get me...
I looked at most of the raw Franklin 50c. You almost get the feeling someone sat down with a $1000 bag of (silver) half dollars and pulled out...
Krause #KM56. Both (1956) Perth and Melbourne catalog 50 cents in very fine. The rarest date (for pennies) is 1930, but there are some fakes out...
