<p>[QUOTE=&quot;AWORDCREATED, post: 1713166, member: 52245&quot;]This is in the original case and hard to image on my scanner (1200 dpi), any advice?&nbsp; Is it &#039;OK&#039; to open the case?&nbsp; And if so, how do I seal it back up?&nbsp; I tried tilting and various angles and what not but can&#039;t get the scanner to do a good job on the coin in the case.&nbsp; I&#039;ll try the camera.&nbsp; 75 photos, later ...&nbsp;&nbsp; have a lot of photographs of mostly reflections.&nbsp; What is the trick to this?&nbsp; Now, I admit to being a noob, so be kind - but do point out obvious things I just don&#039;t know yet, OK?&nbsp; Here is the best scans I have of the blobage on the reverse, and obverse scan and of the set for good measure.&nbsp; You can make out in the scan what is obvious to a good naked eye the following:&nbsp; A bleb line from above the B in PLURIBUS to below the U.&nbsp; &nbsp; The entire field is &#039;wrinkled&#039; in a wave pattern aligned with the bleb line, about 45 degrees.&nbsp; Hard to see with all the reflections from the plastic in the image, but plain as day in real life.&nbsp; Several other blobs exist, for example just next to the first part of the line but straight above the B (making the B appear to have an Umlaut) ; above the O in ONE just under the building (seeable in the scan);&nbsp; 2 blobs just above the T in CENT (also seeable in the scan) ; and over a dozen other smaller ones all over the place.&nbsp; The obverse has the same wrinkle wave pattern in the same orientation and some small blebs.&nbsp; There is a tiny hole on the eye where the pupil would be if he were looking at you peripherally;&nbsp; two spots exist at about 2:30 and 3:30 on the rim appear to be foreign material or corrosion :O&nbsp; ; some sort of die mark (indent like a scratch ) just in front of the chin along the beard section ;&nbsp; a significant dimple in his hair half way between the bottom of the ear lobe and the collar tip which I don&#039;t see on any other proof (might be normal, but it is shines in contrast to the rest of the matte finish on the features) ; S mark is a tad cruddy and appears to be doubled a bit at the top edge; even the 5 and 8 in the date seem a bit doubled, but proofs are multistamped anyway right? so does that even matter on a proof?&nbsp; Obviously I need to get better images, please clue me in on how to do this without opening the case.&nbsp; I have a scanner at the office which is probably better, so I&#039;ll have to try that I suppose at the least.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
