<p>[QUOTE=&quot;green18, post: 2602038, member: 10103&quot;]I was taking pics of this coin yesterday afternoon, so I could post it over in Kirks Secret Santa thread, to express thanks and appreciation to my gifter.&nbsp; The trouble was, no mater what I did I couldn&#039;t seem to get the obverse in proper focus.&nbsp; The reverse came out fine each time I snapped it but the other side proved to be an enigma.&nbsp; The problem was with E Pluribus Unum.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]568121[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>For the life of me, I couldn&#039;t figure it out.&nbsp; I shot numerous pics, with different lighting angles, and the results were still the same.&nbsp; What the devil?&nbsp; The lens is perpendicular to the table.&nbsp; Why ain&#039;t this coming out right.&nbsp; No problems with the reverse, shot under the same conditions.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]568122[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Well, I resolved to get to the bottom of the how and why........pulled the loupe out this morning and had a closeup &#039;look see&#039;.&nbsp; It seems that there were small abrasions or left over glue (sticker) that was throwing the focus off a bit.&nbsp; I tried rubbing out the area with a light abrasive, but that didn&#039;t work.&nbsp; Rubbed the area with some isopropyl alcohol, but that didn&#039;t work either.&nbsp; Idea!&nbsp; It&#039;s a rattler holder, right?&nbsp; Shake, rattle, and roll........</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]568126[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
