    The letters are there, just the bottom halves
    are flattened from PMD - probably a counting
    or rolling machine -

    but it's damage.

    I agree its damage.

    You will have to fix the camera first I am afraid.

    This was the first circulating coinage issued by Norman King William I after the conquest of Britain in 1066. The date is important because that was the beginning point of data collection of the King's demesne lands which later became part of a nationwide inventory of assets, commonly called the "Doomsday Book."

    William also issued silver sceats from his private perfume factory on the Normandy coast, but that's another story.

    Hard to see through the pixellation, but looks like damage. Probably a counting machine. You'll notice the bottom of Liberty is also missing. Circular damage like that is usually a counting machine.

    What is the best camera to use for taking clearer pictures. I will check my settings. I also use a magnification app with a camera

    You can only get so close with a cell phone camera or a straight digital camera. You need a macro lens or a USB microscope to get really close.

    If it looks similar to the above, it is only worth face value (5 cents).
