I present to you all , this 2020 Vermont 25C . Look above the date and tell what the area is ? Mint or Post mint damage ?
Photos are too bright in the first two photos, and a bit too dark in the last photo where the date is, and not good enough to determine what that area is. (my opinion, but I see 'something' above the date, but can't tell )
Agreed, try a close up of just that area with the lighting subdued a little. Could also try turning the coin a little at a time until it is lit correctly in that area. Remember to orient it correctly though in post processing before posting it.
