1915

 

Still love that 1915!!

 

Here it is...

 

Picked this up the other night 1909

 

1909 Lincoln DDO MS65+ RD PCGS

I have had this one for a while but it is a mighty sweet coin. In a PCGS Secure holder, it is the rare FS-1101 variety, showing extra thickness on the date digits and RTY of LIBERTY.

Enjoy!

Thanks for including the terrific explanatory close-up pictures. They clearly show the markers for this variety.

 

You are welcome, and thank you for your note!

That is one impressive 1909DDO. Having that + designation makes it even more so. That coin is so nice that IMPRESSIVE is all I have.

 

That's a GREAT reverse to go with it! NICE COIN!!!!

 

Thanks BT...it's a very interestingly-toned coin, with a sort of frosty luster.

I discovered an interesting phenomenon when I started photographing my own coins. Many of the coins I had put aside over the years did not photograph well, even though they looked pretty good in normal viewing. Others that I had overlooked in the past for various reasons ended up being very photogenic. The ones that look best in normal viewing, but not in a photo, tend to be appealing due to strong luster that hides small marks. Photographing a coin (at least using my technique) tends to be very revealing of contact marks, abrasion, etc because the photo is such a large magnification of the coin, especially for smaller coins. Luster presentation in a photo is also virtually non-existent since luster presents through movement of the coin, which single images can't achieve, so I don't try to emphasize it, instead concentrating on color and surfaces. Some photographers light their coins to emphasize luster the best they can, but I find that the technique results in essentially a "glamor" shot for the coin, and the luster can hide imperfections like vaseline on a portrait lens hides imperfections in a model's face. Lighting for color and surfaces tends to favor high technical grades, and indeed makes the coin look possibly worse than it would in normal viewing. Ultimately, the result is that I now favor coins that photograph well and it has affected how I view and buy coins....Ray
