So same situation as before 1960 LD and slabbed SD...slab says MD65 RD.

 

This one is going to the crime lab.

 

Back in the day, five years or more, I had a super nice Lincoln Cent collection. Sold it on eBay and had a HUGE loss. Here is one of them that Stewart Blay like:

1934 Lincoln, new photos.

 

A rephotographed 1934-D Lincoln, last shown in post #4357.

 

And a new photo of this slightly pale, but lustrous red 1935 cent.

 

Loved this one. Purchased from Mark Goodman.



PF65-BN

 

1935-D and 1935-S with new photos. Previously shown in post #4150.

 

This 1936 suffers from a little bit of flatness on the jaw and cheek. In hand, it's blast red and dazzling. It amazes me for a raw coin that's 83 years old. This coin was previously shown in post #4115.

I tried tipping the coin away from the lights instead of toward them. The use of incident lighting rather than a more axial (that is, nearly overhead) excites the luster rather than just illuminating the fields.

With a nearly perpendicular angle to the lights. (Angle like |.)



A second try using the same coin, with the bottom of the coin tipped down so the light comes from the top of the coin at a slight angle from vertical. (Angle like /.) Also the exposure is one step darker.

 

Here's a wild one:

 

Very new please bare with me how do I post a photo

 

New here ... thought this guy was
Neat


Is it worth keeping?

 

Monetarily, probably not. Because you like it and find it interesting, sure, keep it - it’s kinda cool, whatever happened to it.

Warning! As you see more coins your tastes may evolve, so follow your likes. Don’t worry too much about what other people think.

 

Gorgeous !
