How much of the date can you see in this coin? It is easier to see in hand. I got it for $31 with shipping. The seller said the top of the 179 is showing and most of the 5 but I just see top of the 9 and the 5. Perhaps a high resolution scan would be better. It is hard to photo these low ball coppers.
I can actually see the top of the 17 and more of the 9 in the light with my 10x loop, like the seller said.
I'm sure that it probably is somewhat easier in hand, as you said, but I can't see it on my monitor. This new date enhancer works like a charm!
Funny when I tilted the coin to the light the date is obvious. Most of the 1, part of the 7, a good portion of the 9 and most of the 5 are present. Date is obvious in pain view but when you scan it, forget it. Maybe the right photo would show it better.
