I think I see the Blessed Virgin in my Swiss cheese. :foot-mouth:

 

Get it eBay, PRONTO!! Before it turns green...

 

Picked these up yesterday. I feel like I got a steal at ONLY $7!!!!!!

The 47, 51, and 54 all have MUCH nicer toning than is showing up in these photos. I'll have to get some better photos up.

I love the 68 D, just dripping.

 

2011 Shield Lincoln cent Hair Error

Heres a nice hair error of the 2011 shield Lincoln cent :hail: :hail:

 

Niiiiiiiice!

 

Just photographed by Robec ... (Big Thumbs Up!)

 

My latest acquisition:

 

New early x-mas goodie figured I'd share. She wasn't well treated before but I very happy to have her.

 

I wish those old worn coins could tell their stories: where they've traveled, who they've been with, how many loaves of bread or swigs of whiskey they've bought, how many times they've been flipped to make a decision. In many ways, they have a certain appeal that lazy, uncirculated coins don't.

 

What's up doc? Nice find, John!

 

Geez, couldn't agree with you more. This why I collect what I collect. These were the coins that saw everyday life in circulation...not in a drawer.

 

Wow... Robecs photography skills are improving! I've gotta admit, I wasn't impressed by some of the stuff he was doing when he first started offering this imaging service, but I've gotta say now that if I ever had a toned proof coin that needed imaging, he'd be my first option. :thumb:

Ohh, and nice '54, WingedLiberty!

 

BROWN 1916 wheat lincoln cent matte proof with date and motto error !! Rare !!

This one had a lot of talk on coin talk ! i found it in a post, and yes I own it too ! Some think its a regular strike, but easy to see it a proof heres some pictures to look at ! First picture is of the face of this coin Next picture is from pcgs of a regular strike Then a picture from pcgs of a proof strike This will take two posts :rollling: :rollling:

 

!!! All pictures taken with a dino-lite !!!

Here some pictures of the date error, and motto too ! Let me know what you think :hail:

 

Looks like a worn circulation strike to me.

 

What is the error in the date & motto? I don't see anything other than circulation wear.

 

Thanks for the compliment, but in response,
I don't have an imaging service and don't offer one.
It is just a hobby I have been able to satisfy thanks to a small group of collectors.

Results may vary.

 

I found this coin in my change, I've studied the lower lip, where it meets the chin, and it has an oval indent, like the one that matches the proof ! The regular strike is shaped more like a pyramid ! I also had it look at by a local grader, we said it was a matte proof ! :smile
