My speculation: When it comes to lathe marks, the error can be anywhere in the field of the coin (and typically it is rather than a single mark...
Better pics and I think you’re on the right track. A little more time experimenting with your phone and lighting you’ll be in great shape. I...
It may not be the phone's camera but more of how you are taking pictures. If you are taking pictures freehand, then you'll struggle with a...
The shots are too distant and out of focus. It looks like there could be a witness mark in bay 9 of the Memorial. How are you taking your...

I'm sorry, but I'm not seeing it. I can't make out from your pictures for certain but I don't see the markers for the DDO or the DDR. Can you...
I figured those quarters had to be hung up in the commercial dryer. They look like buttons.
No worries. Both your collecting knowledge and photo taking will expand and improve with time. To be honest, I used my camera to take and load...
Your dryer?
Is that the one advertised to cut down a tree?
This caught my attention as well. I can still see his email address though.
It sounds like you might be from the North. It reminds me of a friend who was a relic hunter in Virginia. He liked to hunt in the winter when...
