Here's another - 1949 OMM [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
As you noted, getting too close can be a problem. What you want to find is the optimal distance to take your photos. Find an object that has...
Here's a find from a while back (sorry for the photos...it was from my novice days). A 1963 DDR.[ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]...
Maybe it would could share some of our favorite CRH finds while we wait for the CRH events to begin again. I guess we should have started that...
I've found both '13 Ds in circulation (pickled) but neither '13 S. Harder to find S mint on the East Coast...so not too surprising.
Finning perhaps.
When the die breaks, or chips around the devices/engraving, voids or cracks appear in the working die. When it's used to strike a planchet, the...
Looks more like chips than a cud. I didn't see anything listed at Cudsoncoins for the date. But have a look at the site and see if you uncover...

Yes...I was a little concerned about the wear on the coin being artificial. But the alloy issue lends to material issues with the period, so it's...
When you CRH, you'll find plenty of interesting coins from around the world. And perhaps a few batteries, plastic money, slugs and more. Enjoy...
I'm with Jim...Die #2. A clear close-up of the date would help though.
Coin wrappers are dirt cheap online, just in case you have to go that route. I never felt right about taking the free wrappers. A fraction of a...
Something easily overlooked is that for that date, mint sets were not available to the public via mail. If you wanted an authentic mint state...
