Did I strike it rich? 1960 small dates??

I checked that link, clicked on "1960 small date " it doesn't mention the" rpm "however mentions the top of the" tail " of the "6" if it's longer than it's a large date. If it's shorter than it's a small date

"White balance detector"? Do any modern digital cameras have a separate detector? I thought they all do this by looking at actual image statistics, then applying (in)corrections based on "smart" analysis and/or user settings.

 

I do believe several high-end phones have a tiny port dedicated to white balance. In particular, almost all iPhones do, even the lowly iPhone SE.

 

The iOS devices have an ambient light sensor, but it looks like it only picks up levels, so it can adjust screen brightness. And because that's its purpose, it faces in the same direction as the screen (and "selfie" camera), not forward.

A quick scan of related discussion seems to indicate that Apple does white balance the same way as everybody else, by analyzing image statistics (which are easily skewed). If they do use a separate white-balance sensor, I've got a big chunk of learning to catch up on. (And I'd like to get started!)

 

The tiny hole between my camera lens and the horribly named "flash" (as if) measures many characters of light - quantity and color. It uses that color temperature data to calibrate the COLOR of the misnamed "flash".

 

I married a small date. Like most other things it's no longer part of my collection.

 

Huh.... I was just going to ask if this was the purpose of said hole.

The "flash" functions better as a flashlight, and is quite a handy little thing imo.

 

Pay close attention to your 1960-d coins. The varieties can be seen in the cherry pickers guide. Compare what you have to their photos first before you jump to the conclusion that you have the expensive ones. One of the photos above shows it.

 

Either way small date/large date most of them are worth more than a dollar I just sent pics to a person I deal with at heritage auctions to see what she says also. I do have a few 1960 d's, only 1 is believed to be a small date. Couch collectables, does say the 60 D's have good value also. All in all having them is a good collectable item ya know

 

The small date 1960 is much more closed and tighter (the 6 and the 9).
The large date 1960 is much more open, and the date is larger.
The 60-D generally does not have value. Just the 1960 Philly small date.

 

Unless it's in mint shape condition which I don't have in the 1960 d style :-( however I do have a few good Philadelphia ones

 

Oy vey!

The large is more common for 1960 Philly.
The small is more common for 1960 Denver.

 

Have a large peanutbutter jar filled with 1960 LMC p mint. None of them have the small date. Just guessing about 1,000. None have the small date. To this day i haven't found one. Hoping your right

 

So you don't have a 60p small date either. Still thinking i should of found one at least

 

Thats a small

 

They have those over stamped one in proof?????

 

Are you saying that i should of saved the 60d large dates and less of the small 60d's. Have about 5 small d's. And scraped the large 60d's

 

Kinda.

 

They exist, but not in great numbers. Quite rare.
