Very possible light "Die Polishing", reducing the depth of that 'E' that appears on the surface of the coin......? I can't really tell from your images here, but that's my best guess.......JMO

For the record, this post covers multiple photo imaging does and don’ts

If you have a digital camera you would get better photos, then with the USB Microscope. I know that for those who give the most info as to if the coin is a doubled die, clashed dies etc. They do NOT like photos from a microscope. These types of photo have a bad habit of making you think there is something there when there is nothing. I can just see them cringing when anyone says "I'll be able to get better photos after getting my new USB microscope".

If you have more than one coin you want someone to look at, you should make separate posts for each coin (new topic for each coin). This will make it easier for someone to look at and give you a more accurate opinion of the coin. Posting them in the same post can make it be confusing to follow the coins. As for posting a separate coin in the topic for comparison, those who are giving you their opinion are very knowable in what should and should not be on the coin. Thus, you do not need one. Again, that falls back on one coin one topic, two coins two topics

When posting photos of a coin you would like someone to look at, you should post a photo of the full Obverse and Reverse. Try to take these photos as clear and close as possible. It would also be helpful if you could crop these photos. Next, take the photos of the area in question again as clear as possible. If you could find some way to point out the area you would like looked at. Either by using a photo editing program or give an exceptionally good description of the area. If you do not have a photo editing program there are three free programs you can get. They are PhotoScape, Inkscape and Gimp. Of all of them PhotoScape is by far the easiest to learn and use.

Again, using a microscope to take photos is highly discouraged. I know it troubles them, and they do not like telling you, that you need to take the photo's again as they cannot see it due to bad photos. or not be able to tell you what is exactly there (error/variety) or just PMD.

Lastly, if have a coin you would like someone to look at, please show a little respect and do not post a coin in someone else's thread. You should start a new Topic.
