I hear ya! Chris
I like the OP's idea better. A photo of the slab would be too small to show details and/or read, and a photo of the coin wouldn't let anyone know...
First, welcome to the neighborhood @RachelRuth ! My take on the first one? I'd spend it real quick before it contaminates the rest of my...
Welcome to the neighborhood! Chris
I didn't think that you did. I was only mentioning that because most of the USB scopes that are used here are not the best quality. Chris
I'm sorry, but your coin is nothing like the PCGS or the Wexler specimen. Chris

Agreed! Environmental damage. @paddyman98 is one of our resident metal detectorists, and he can show you dozens of coins that he found in the...

The biggest mistake that the Mint made was when they changed the Lincoln cent to the "Crappy Zincoln" in 1982. This plating issue that others have...
Unfortunately, that is not true doubling. Chris
I don't see any true hub doubling. Chris
Welcome to the neighborhood, Michael! It sounds like it might have been struck with grease-filled dies, but it would be best if you started your...
@Matteo80 It is probably the result of a partially grease-filled die. Even if you knew what this kind of error was called, it is very unlikely...
It's not the photo, itself. It's how you process the photo. After taking the photo, you need to crop out all of the unnecessary background. Then,...
