    Nick on the nose and splotches behind her neck and under the eagle's wing.
    The blur makes it tough to read the fields.

    physics-fan3.14 You got any more of them.... prooflikes?

    I'd grade the obverse "three glasses of wine" out of focus.

    The reverse is "six shots of whiskey" out of focus.

    You appear to have some really nice coins, and I would really like to see them and play in your GTGs. Is there any way you can stabilize your picture-taking-device? Try and see if it has a "macro" mode to take more in-focus images close-up.

    Too out of focus to even tell if it was real.

    I will screw around a bit with this phone camera and see if I can improve my shots. A several years old Android is what I got.

    Even that should have a macro mode.

    Instead of holding the camera in your hand, try propping it up on a desk or table (use some books, or a tripod). This will minimize shaking, which will also help take better pictures.

    Well the photo was a bit much for several folks. But some of you were close despite the handicap I imposed. I love this coin!
