I’ll fourth it…scratch.

I presume that your digital microscope does not interface with a computer. Better to post a regular pic, not one off a led screen or monitor....
MD on HALF, no doubling seen on DOLLAR. Some die deterioration on UNITED/USA, at the tops near the rim. All told, the wear on this 40% silver...
My 2 cents: the lettering needs to be upright in a slabbed coin, so you can read it as it is intended.
On the whole you have good pictures for a inexpensive scope, you’ll have to experiment on lighting, but two low power (25-40 watt) is plenty...
@Michael Barber …no pics…unless you are talking about post #29.
@Kristine Garrant …Well, I have to say you are experiencing what most collectors go through. We ask questions and then sort through the...

Using @chuckylucky5 info above, I plugged it into the NGC World Price Guide and found a listing but no weight info. NGC’s WPG is powered by...

A pic of 2nd coins’ reverse? The edge looks spooned or hammered but we don’t know its’ age.
Aiden, you have a spender. The wear condition is AU50/53 at best and the FG has been worn down from circulation, not die polishing, imo. To...
Two thoughts on packaging…1, some people, like myself, have Mint sets, MS and Proof, special mint sets and commemorative issues. If I were to...
