[QUOTE="Jupiter88, post: 2241969, member: 75512"]I finally got better pics and although the MPL stuff has been addressed when I originally posted, I still wanted to share these pics as the close-ups are pretty amazing!! Each pic catches something a little different (this was my first time doing close-ups of a coin so I'm in awe - borrowed a Nikon & used the macro setting.. it took me forever to get past the blurry shots :) I have a few questions in general: [LIST] [*]What causes the heavy vertical polishing type lines throughout? [*]Do I refer to the raised line on top of "we trust" as, a die line or scratch? [*]The small dark spots, are these what are referred to as carbon? [*]The VDB is polished heavily, with a slash up through it, is this common or possibly a marker of some type? [/LIST] Thank you & still learning tons!
