Oh you've seen one stunning drop-dead gorgeous wheatie you've seen 'em all. Here's something a little different. I mean, you start out in the same place, at the same time, and, depending on a number of different factors, look at how you can end up. And let that be a lesson for you...
Hey, nice Lincolns everyone! DJP, nice 11 S, looks very close to mine, lol. Thanks for sharing so far! I got some more I'll try to post myself. Also got a 26 S cent that I noticed has a little die crack on the reverse, pretty nice too I'll try to get up. Sweet Lincolns all!
Here are some lincolns my kids pulled to the side they think they might be errors I myself dont know. One had a big gray patch as if there is no copper on it. Another looks like it has been clipped but when you look close it looks like this was how it was made then the last one has the look and texture of orange peel on the front and back maybe some one can tell me what you think the causes to these coins are so I can tell my kids
1976D - looks stained to me. (just my NON-expert opinion.)
Unknown date/mm wheat - looks possibly clipped planchet (appears to possibly be Blakesly's effect opposite sdie.) Better pic? ( http://www.cointalk.org/search.php?searchid=692486 for info on Blakely's effect.)
Last unknown date/mm wheat looks acid bath. Is it thinner than normal?

Reason: more info
Trial and error is what I'm still using. Coins are hard to photograph. They're shiny. Hints I can give, look for a macro option on your camera - often a flower icon. Use a tripod or anything that will help hold the camera still. Move the camera as far away from the coin as necessary to get it in focus then crop out the part of the pic that isn't coin. About all I got on camera tips. If you have a scanner, they will work fine for details. Also search cointalk for more hints and tips. ( the search link is found at the top of every cointalk page, below the breadcrumbs.)
Oh, welcome to Cointalk! (my manners suck.)
A suggestion, post the error coins in the error forum where cointalk's error experts are more likely to see them.

Found this in my last 20 rolls that I searched last week. Finally got the coin/camera setup put together (thread to follow). I realize that this is not an error but check out how high and close the mint mark is to the date. Opinions?
