Fair enough, but I did not misunderstand what you said, I just left out words I thought were "obvious". Here is the full meaning of what I wrote:...
I would highly recommend a Bausch & Lomb Stereo or StereoZoom. Low cost, high quality, very available on eBay. Let me know if you need a...
For hundreds of years the term "red cent" has been used. New Cents are a strong reddish shade. To say they are not even close is simply incorrect.
I find it interesting that folks are saying that fresh cents are not "red". As a numismatic photographer, I can tell you emphatically that they...

Sorry, don't see it. Not sure how it would have gotten there anyway.
Now that is a true collector. Devoted to a specific collecting topic until complete, and an esoteric one at that. Kudos!
I use Lighthouse holders. They are acrylic, which also has almost no mold residue.
Not a good example. Ever notice how a new toothbrush tastes? Not so good, because of the mold release compounds and other stuff that is present on...
I do have a couple of AT capsules but I've never put a coin in one. I'm with Kurt...the rings make me very nervous.
I love the Lighthouse holders. Use them exclusively for all my Cent collection.
This is a technique of "museum lighting". Good for objects that need side-lighting to capture surface details. Generally for coins we're more...
