<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jeankay, post: 383637, member: 12159&quot;]Hi Jersey,</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Always hold the coin by the edges, or &#039;third side&#039;, to look at it so you don&#039;t leave any unwanted body oils or dirt on its surface. It is a really good idea to keep a soft towel or such to keep from damaging the coin on the table in case you drop it. </p><p>I have realized that one must move the coin in several angles to see what it is like.</p><p>Someone told me that to be a good error coin that one needs to be able to see the error in a straight-on manner.</p><p>Also discovered in my photography attempts is that I can put a Lincoln cent in the hole of a dime sized cardboard flip to check it out. This doesn&#039;t work for many of the coins because the sizes are so different. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Don&#039;t know if this helps... just my observations to date.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>jeankay[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
