This post is doubly erroneous because some of the coins are errors/varieties and the photos are errored as well. I took picked up a new lens for my iPhone in an attempt to use that for close up photos. I think that there is such thing as seeing too much and the photo quality detracts from the coin. I use two CFL bulb lights to help with the lighting and while I was a bit lazy and didn't take the coins out of the 2x2s, I still don't think the photos would have been much better. I don't know how to manually adjust my iphone's white light settings, so the color is off on all of them. I'm going to show the lens I bought, not because I'm unhappy with it, but because I want to show what it is and see if anyone can advise. I'll also post a few photos of some coins I was trying to photograph. Comments on taking better photos as well as whether the coins are errors/varieties are welcome. Please note that I do not collect/show these in hopes of selling them. I don't care their value (unless it's off the charts) as I collect them because they are cool, please don't bother with "not worth any more" I just want to know if you see what I see! In this batch, I have: iPhone lens image An 1865 3 cent nickel with die cracks? An 1858 3 cent silver piece with lamination error?
Here I have a 1950s wheat cent with a die crack and something going on with the I in liberty. A 2010 Roosevelt Dime with a cud on his chin. A 1950s BIE Lincoln Cent. A 1945 Canadian 10 Cent piece with a die crack/gouge?
Lastly a 1937 S DDO (die deterioration obverse) Please let me know if you think the doubling is die deterioration, MD, or an actual DDO.
Thank you. I think I should've posted this at an earlier time so more people could've seen it in the recent posts. Looks like my post has been swallowed. :/
