Do you have a digital camera? If so take some pictures of your coins showing the entire front and Back then if it is a DDO , RPM , Reverse DesIgn Variety or rotated Die
show the Highlighted area on the coin you wish to discuss. Then try to transfer these
pictures(images) to your computer. You will see a section dealing with uploading the images to the your post. Before I lose you let me wish you WELCOME to the LCR Community. After you have taken the pics we will help you.
You will make lots of new friends here , have fun and share your find with us.

I like that name papajoejoe! It rolls off the tongue.
WELCOME to the forums and you're going to need a loupe of at least a 10x for close ups.
30x, 60x, and 200x being the strongest. (Too strong sometimes)

WELCOME PAPAJOEJOE! WELL FOR TAKEING PICTURES I'M SURE EVERYONE DOES IT THIER OWN WAY. ME I USE DIGITAL CAMERA ASSORTMENT OF LOUPES AND LENS HELD IN FRONT OF CAMERA LENS.

Do not forget a tripod, sure helps eliminate a lot of the blurr. Welcome to LCR, it's a great place.

Welcome to LCR! When it comes to cameras, one that has macro with the highest pixel rating you can find, do not use the flash, use indirect or natural lighting, and as little shaking as possible. Take lots of pictures and pick the best from them. I have never had good luck with loupes in front of the camera lens or scanners. Thank goodness for digital cameras because film would cost a fortune :) .
