    Photos are great although try to cut back on the lighting.
    Also:
    As close as you can to the no. 9.
    Always inspect the image you will send. (Focus)
    Convince yourself first.
    Cool !

    What about that coin suggests to you that it is broadstruck?

    Only see a die chip in the 9. Nothing else

    I was thinking it was a broad struck because on the reverse there's no definitive REM it's kind of dish shaped also eat pluribus Unum is pushed so far to the edge and is very faint not from ware but from the strike. Even the details in the week are soft and smudgy. On the obverse there is rim down at the bottom of the coin under the bus but a smooth transition to a rim at the top where in God we trust is and again that is soft and smudgy. For those that are questioning the s mint mark I've looked it up many times and I just wanted an actual opinion from someone else the small curve is at the top and the big curve is at the bottom that is inverted is it not?

    That coin looks like it was struck in the collar. A broadstruck coin would have expanded and be larger in diameter than a normal coin.
