Can you take a sharp close-up picture of both sides of one fake

And also, how about a close-up of the spot where the acid test failed ?
Note that the height of the rim is based on he striking pressure, which can vary widely across the Morgan Dollar series.
A higher rim can make a coin look much thicker at the edge, even when the original blank it was struck on had the same thickness as all the others.
