[QUOTE="tmoneyeagles, post: 920353, member: 17557"]The only problem I see in the coin is where both wreath ends meet at the top. They seem to be too close to eachother, I think better pictures will be needed of the reverse to assure that they aren't as close as they seem in the picture. It could just be wear or rub in that area, series of scratches, etc. You are using the flash on your camera which is causing some overexposure and hot spots. It gives the coin a cleaned look, and even though I think the coin has been cleaned at one point in time, better pictures would be needed. I'll try to help you out on the photos. First off, try using Macro on your camera if you aren't already. If you are wondering what that it is, it is a setting on your camera that allows your camera to focus in to details better. It will look like a flower on most cameras. Also, instead of using the flash, try using natural lighting or using two lighting sources on the coin, this will ensure maximum lighting without overexposing the coin. Try that, and come back with your photos, also, weigh the coin if you can.[/QUOTE]
