    How do you get such close ups in your pics?

    With regard to the double ear.......I'm new at this so I'll wait on others to respond.

    I take my camera, and put my 10X loupe in front of it. You just got to have a steady hand. I usually place the bottom of the loupe on a table or book to steady it. I get this question a lot, so I will just post an example.

    I've never found one myself, but I do believe that is it. Try to find out what the markers are for it and compare them to your coin. I'm going to go ahead and offer congrats on a nice find. Also, nice pics. I could never hold anything that steady. I can't even walk outside with a cup of coffee without spilling it everywhere on the way.

    I take it that the 97 isn't as common as the 84? All I ever hear about is the 84 doubled ear.
