2010-P Yellowstone die ajustment strick? or grease filled die?

so I took photos of the full coin but somehow my phone camera is picking up a lot of scratches. on O/R of the coin. I am all so putting up full photos of my microscope but in 2 parts per O/R. to show that those scratches are not there. now that said this is a VERY WELL CIRCULATED COIN. a lot of the right-hand side of the obverse wording/letters of this coin is missing + the T in TRUST

looks like a nice greaser

 

Your close-ups using your USB(?) scope appear to be a perfect example of why you need to take those images from directly overhead. Capturing images at an angle tend to hide many marks on the coin.

Also, it is not a good idea to use magnification to point out marks that can normally be viewed without enlargement. It's like placing your nose right on the bark of a tree. You can't see the forest for the trees.

 

Greaser

 

@cpm9ball I took all photos directly above the coin. both from my PHONE CAMERA /USB SCOPE this is apparent as are all laying on an old 2x2 and if you have seen other posts my USB only takes above coin pic's ONLY. and looking in a 10x loop I see none of the scratches that my PHONE PIXEL 3xL camera pic upon

O and the photos are x1 maybe x2 form the phone and to crop the photo as cropping any photo enlarges and centers the photo

 

so here is a photo of my bubble telescope

 

" It's as greasy as that Pizza I had yesterday ".

 

How do you explain the oval shape of the last four images of the quarter?

 

not sure but that is as high as my USB will go so maybe the lens or capture x.y window

 

this is what it looks like at an angled top of the coin is clear and the bottom is out of focus and you se more of the rim rib's of the coin

 

I have my scope just about the mid staff of the holding bar. this way I can get a close up by adjusting the scope up/down by a side nob and not the main holding bar. no, this scope doesn't x's the image in windows. only if I had it on stand-alone/"I,e without windows" will it x the image

 

Definitely not a Die Adjustment strick.. I mean strike.

Worn Die strike. Missing letters are due to compacted and hardened grease that was used to wipe the Die during its use.

 

thanks all ill be sure to put it in a nice greasy 2x2filp

 

This is sort of off-topic, but I've never seen or heard of a "bubble telescope". Why is it called that? How does it work? Is it similar to a wide-angle lens? TIA!

 

lol it's called fat fingers and i suvk at typing/spelling and grammer
