Agreed that is a superior looking seated dollar

 

I solved the problem. By accident.

I put in bids on a couple of 1940 proofs at the same time in different auctions. (That Demon Bourbon...)

The one shown in post #22078 ended first, then a few days later I won this impaired proof for $18.45. (Should I put VerdiCare on the reverse, or not?)

Now I have a pretty darned nice proof to put in a nice plastic 2x2 without having to break out an Old Green Holder.

Not what I planned, but still, not bad!

I'd like some comments on the photo quality as well. I think the lighting is off just a bit. Depending on where I view them on my monitor, I get different perspective, so please let me know your thoughts on the photos. Thanks.

It looks dipped out and washed out in the pics probably too light on your pics

 

Another Manchester pickup

 

1903 S XF 40 Morgan
better date (semi key)
Bigger $ in AU and above
Do not believe it's a micro S?

 

Nice 37 ddo

 

Thanks Bill. I agree with your comments about the pics posted. I just got a new USB Microscope and a light box. By the time I was done last night messing with the software settings, my eyes were so tired, I just wanted to post something. It looked a little out of focus last night, but today, the focus isn't too far off.

I think I need to put some kind of filter over the LED lights in the light box and then start making more adjustments. The coin is fairly "white" with some album toning on the rims. I suspect it was dipped at some point in it's life. There's still luster on the coin, but it's not MS. It's AU58.

I still need time to find the correct blue level, saturation, gamma and other settings until I can properly capture what the coin looks like in hand.

 

Wow, ya'll have amazing coins. I only have a couple of random foreign coins and a new red 1964D penny. I hope that I can add some cool ones to my starting collection one day.

 

Picked this up at the Stack’s post-Baltimore auction at a very nice price.

 

Really?! I had no idea. I watched it for quite a while before pulling the trigger. I’m completely unfamiliar with DD varieties of this series. Is the give away the thickness of the date and LIBERTY?

 

Wow. Love the pine tree!!

 

It's been 8 months since I bought a coin for my core collection. And I paid way too much for it. Oh well, it fits well and I like it.

Nice Pine Tree!

 

Picked this one up yesterday from the post office!
