    Not bad, try different angles with your lighting.

    Welcome back, n HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I don't have the skills to critique your photos, if you've ever some that I've posted you'd know where I'm coming from. If I post pics they're usually seller pics.

    Happy birthday! I'll be 18 as well within the next month. Assuming you've started college as I have this year?

    As someone already mentioned the photo looks a little dark, but I like it as it shows a lot of detail.

    @dcarr, you have any thing to say about this?

    You can see in the picture that the metal around the "2021" was pushed up in elevation and it subsequently became lighter in color (abraded) during the antiquing process. A raised lip of metal such as this is typical for a counter-stamp.

    So these pieces were first over-struck without the "2021" date, and then that date was counter-stamped into the coin using a punch and hammer. Positioning and angle of the counter-stamp will vary.
