I'm not happy with the photos, but
I believe it's from a counting machine.

As mentioned earlier, the date is recessed
into the surface, so a scratch or 'ring' from
the coin being damaged from another quarter
in the counting machine will leave a line that
looks like it's THRU and under the date, when actually
it's ON the surface of the coin, above the
sunken date.

I leave myself a little opening if I saw better
photos, but based on what I can see, it's
a scrape.

 

Thanks for chiming in. I can live with that. Damn that furyfrog

 

You can glowt Good eye. You know what i mean

 

whats the best camera to take pictures of the coin really close?

 

A USB microscope works well but if you are serious get a mid level one b/c the $20-30 ones don't last(in my experience anyway).

 

any recommendations?

Thanks

 

How close are you wanting to get?
I've found that my iphone camera takes decent pictures and you are able to zoom in and see most things without needing any fancy equipment.

 

I used my iPhone on the pics listed in this post, yet some members are having some trouble viewing the finer details of the picture.

 

That's more due to your lighting than the quality of the camera IMO.
