I will post better pics than these, I was in a hurry to get feedback. The coin devices are very worn but under the right light I can see the matchups on the date, mottos, face, eyelids, coat etc.
Sorry for the pics these are horrible, i agree. I will be back online to post better photos in a few hours....thanks for the quick feedback guys
Bigger isn't always better. Enlarging it will mean more depth of the slide isn't in focus, so much is out of focus except the small focal plane you are focusing at time of exposure.
Note: the best diagnostic for that year is IN GOD WE TRUST...not the date. If your cent looks normal IGWT...then it's not the biggie for the date.
