It's just a basic platform really. I chose Legos because I could get the height of the phone just right for the best focus. I'll get a picture of...
For most pictures, I use a piece of regular paper for a back drop, two LED book clip-on style lights and an iphone (6?) on a stand built with...
I'm thinking AU-53 or 55.
MS-66+ Hard to tell if it's full steps or not. Do you have any close up photos?

Looks like die deterioration doubling or maybe environmental damage. The mintmarks at this time were hand punched onto the obverse dies. If a...

Only the second 8 seems to be doubled. The obverse is pretty clean, but unfortunately the reverse was wiped. Probably by a collector of olden...
I'm glad I bought it. I'd say it's PF-62 or 63. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] It almost looks like a die crack, but...

I think a lot of that missing detail is from a weak strike. Notice the left stars are flatter than the right stars. And also the wreath below...
VF-25
VF-30 Looks like it has an old cleaning, but that doesn't really bother me.
Solid F-15 possibly VF-20. I'd feel better giving it a VF grade if it had a little more detail in the hair under "LI" of "LIBERTY".
Unc. Detail - Lightly Cleaned The whole coin's color doesn't seem natural to me. The first obverse photo shows hairlines going across the cheek...
