PCGS EF45 1909S VDB Lincoln Cent

 

Lets Post Pics if we can

 

My 1798 large cent, because it was given to me by my father.

 

I guess my copper nickel.

 

It also is my lowest grade coin too...

...a chain cent in FA-02 (PCGS/CAC).

As an aside, I wonder how many people's most expensive coin is also their lowest graded???

 

Wow!!!
A very impressive coin.
I assume struck on a cent planchet.


My wallet-buster is a 1909-S IHC in PCGS MS-66 BN.

 

I hope to overshadow this one in July though...with a $10 indian head.

 

Nice one Eddy! What's the grade?
Looks 63 or 64? I don't know too much about gold.

 

AU-48

Which I've heard people say is the best grade for gold.

 

Those incised Indians are tough to grade by the average collector.
I don't try.

To me the Peace dollar is in the same category.

 

PCGS AU53 1909-S VDB Lincoln Cent

I dont know why the obverse picture always goes sideways on me. Its not like this in my picture file.

 

Don't know about your orientation problem, but I suggest putting something black under your slab when you image your coins.
The white background tends to wash out a coin's true color, particularly copper coins.

BTW, nice coin.

 

The reason is the way he is cropping the picture. This took me 42 seconds to do from his picture.

 

Thanks Jim and kanga!!! I've got alot to learn when it comes to coin photography. Thanks for the tips and I've got to learn to crop like that.

 

My 1916-D Mecrury

 

Kind of beat me to that one. This question is sort of vague. By value it could well be just as you said, something of great value for a differnt reason than monitary. Mine is a bunch of 1943 Cents from my Dad.

 

Have you tried taking those photos prior to a few Martini's?
You should see how my photos look after a few of those.
