Copper quarter

Rick you're absolutely right no argument from me. With my poor man's photography set up I tried to achieve the best photo I can. Sometimes everything works just right and sometimes it doesn't. I'm trying to make do with what I have. One thing you'll notice in this dime photo the white background shows the color of the light source. It is a soft light, not another luminescent white or LED white. Had to use an old flashlight with the old bulb, that throughout a softer light. The results was a photo that look like the original dime. It's true what they say about photography lighting is everything.

Rick didn't have a 44 handy I had to use a 47 S. first I took the coin and put it up next to your photos on this thread I mean literally put the coin up on my screen. Did not look anything like the nickel. I'm not saying that your nickel doesn't look like the photo that you're showing, I personally think both I'm just had bad lighting. Just having fun with my 47 take a look at the photos.

 

hello,what kind of error is this?i got this in laundryshop.its looks different.have something worth?thanks in advance

 

I personally do not know. But I've seen that kind of finish before on several quarter types. I'm sure somebody knows.

 

Normal oxidized quater.

 

I think they want to know about the Post Strike Damage on the reverse side

 

I have to really disagree with you on that one. When I first looked at the quarter I noticed that frosted appearance. Like I said I've seen a few of these before and I even think I have some somewhere. No way is that oxidation the frosty appearances equal on both sides including the PM damage. I cannot remember the coins the mint put out with a frosted appearance. Well that's what these remind me of.

 

"True-view"?? No offense, but I wouldn't go that far...

This one?

Perhaps you can explain here exactly why you decided to label this almost certainly perfectly genuine coin a "fake"? If it was a "fake", this would mean it is not genuine, a counterfeit. If your claim is that it has been plated, the coin is still genuine, but has been altered.

 

That quarter was washed and dried a few times in industrial machines. Nothing more

So, I guess oxidized quarter fits

 

All I know is it doesn't look like any oxidize quarter I've ever seen

Start off Brooks no one said it was a fake just a generalization that it looks like something. You still don't get it Brooks.
Now these are oxidized quarters.

 

PS. It doesn't help the new member post pics with a totally inappropriate background which brings out the color of the tan, maybe if this new member would do us a favor and repost the photos with a proper black background and specify exactly what he's looking at.

 

Cascade. Take a look at the Queen here notice the surface finish on her it's almost exact match to the new members quarter. No oxidation here, Nor has it been run through the dryer several times.

 

The 3 you have to click on look good .
Now you need a trouble light so you can hold it overhead to adjust where you want the light to go .

What I do is take the trouble light and center it on the coin and then start to move the light upward, until it start to leave the top of the coin .

Just remember to keep the light level in the coin as it moves pass the top ..

 

Here's a couple of images I took as I explained .


The coin also has dark toning, ( fields ) just like these photos ..

 

Rick totally agree. Lighting is everything along with background. Did you notice on the quarter that you displayed on the reverse the three little windows under the starburst would that be considered hub doubling.?

 

Here's the scope I used to take all my full shots .

Good eye, it's wexler DDR-007 ....

 

Here's a side by side with wexler windows on DDR-007 .

Now Rick all you have to do with that second image is run it through Windows photo image and use the filter that Wexler uses to highlight the coin. Then you'll be cooking with good old hog fat.LOL

 

I had my computer built by Dell, with all the whistle too .
O-ha, I have that program wexler has .
