Fun find!
1. Are there marker listings only for errors? Markers are a means to confirm a variety coin and for which die stage a variety coin is found in....
It is interesting how grading works. I've felt reasonably comfortable estimating a grade, but then I'll visit a site like Heritage Auctions and...
Question: are you using the “Upload a File” radio button or the attach an image icon?
I think you are right, and nothing comes to mind why this would change with digital pictures.
Spark triggered another thought. Avoid busy backgrounds as the camera sensors struggle to bring the subject coin into focus.
@Kristine Garrant It sounds like your experimentation is going well. To be frank, I got interested in how to create solid photos with a...
I think it's an optical delusion. The holder is hiding the rim. My guess is that the spots came years after being slabbed. I wonder how it...
@Mountain Man did a nice job getting you links and tips on photography. Your pictures are decent for a newbie, so you'll be snapping some nicer...
Hi Miguel - as our fellow enthusiasts note, just some travel damage with 5 decades in the wilderness. You'll see some strange anomalies with...

A normal 1939 with the correct reverse design (some were minted with the reverse design from 1938). The obverse design on the Henning is washed...
