Title: 2008 20c gap coin
Post by: Coins from Vending on July 11, 2013, 08:36:36 PM
Going through some coins today found this one and thought it may be a 2008 gap variety??

Could someone confirm whether it is or isn't?

It looks like it but it's hard to tell from the picture. Can you get a bigger image or maybe one with a bit more light?

And maybe use a better image host that lets us see the raw photo easily without the padding?

I put the coin in the scanner, I'll have to take a proper photo of it tomorrow?? cropping the scan and enlarging just goes all fuzzy, the gap is about 2mm

Hmm.. try rotating the coin 180° then. The light seems directional.
