Mr. Flute,

Thank you for the great explaination. It makes perfect sense. I have been trying to get pre 1925 coins with as full a date as possible and have done pretty well. They are not that easy to find though and a great challange. I love all the designs of 1916 and feel that they were the last of the great coins minted for circulation in the US. They are works of art.

Not at all. You, or perhaps the women you associate with, should exercise more. Maybe start doing some yoga.

 

Here's my better Type one .

 

WOW!!!! that's beautiful

 

I sold this one last year.

 

You guts have some great SLQ's.

 

Agreed...I love this series. I also try to get pre-1925 ones with the strongest date as possible. I acutally got a 24-S in Fine with a very strong date. I'll have to get a pic of it tonight for this thread.

 

I used to have one before it was stolen.

 

Its just a thing.

 

We were talking aboout the halves. The Walker half is a design that is an impossible pose, at least with human anatomy. The rays are trief and the design is out of balance.

 

That's a drag , is that the beauty you got for $50 ?

 

yeah

Sure she sold it for more than that.

 

This is the old pics








It was my favorite coin and complete stolen.

 

Beautiful! I really like the shield and olive branch motif.

 

I've only this one so far but every time I look at it i consider starting an album of them. They are very sharp coin design.

 

I took a picture last night of my best Standing Liberty Quarter. But now looking at all the other ones on this thread, they all put mine to shame. These are some of the most beautiful examples I have seen.

 

Post it! We are all numismatists and know that not everyone can have the best coins. What is important is we are excited about what we have and hope to improve on it.

 

I'm having problems shooting coins in Air-Tites straight on, and to pull them out means possibly damaging the holder and having to order another...

I do have a SLQ copy 1oz round that has exquisite details though…

 

Looking good. Play with the lighting. I am no professional, but sometimes I will use a large piece of white cardboard or cardstock to deflect direct light while maintaining light (if that makes sense). By doing this, you can play with the shadow and any glare across the coin to get a nice shot.

PS All of my shots at the moment are being done on a 2MP microscope camera. Not great, but it is getting the job done for the moment.
