This is the first coin I ever purchased. It was a Christmas gift for my dad in 1968. My father got me into coin collecting before that though he...
I know I don't get out much, but I just got my first shield cent. It will be interesting to see how it tones.
With the problems associated with the breakdown of the zinc through the copper plating of post 1982 Lincolns, will anybody actually be able to...

How many of you are Early Date Sheldon Variety collectors? Marshall EAC# 1799 Please excuse me. I posted in the wrong area.
I have two Charlott $2.50 gold coins I am thinking of selling. 1843 Plain 4 (23,076) in XF with light undertype which could be confused as...
In photographing and verifying the variety of my Early Date Large Cent collection, I've just found 4 out of the last 6 low grade examples to have...
I have been Photographing my collection so I can keep the coins at the bank and still have access to them (sort of) at home. I came across this...
Is this interesting or not? It is a S-197 (not playing attribution today) with problems. It appears to me to be primarily Planchet related...
These are 5 pictures I've taken of a 1958 Proof Franklin. The photography shows many different looks for the same coin. Are any of them adequate...

These are my S-166s. The first is a recent acquisition and the second is an example of my early collection. It is reflective of the change in my...
This is a coin I thought was choice in hand. Photos show too many bag marks for this, but it's still nice. Any comments are welcome. [IMG] [IMG]
I'm testing out whether I can post my photobucket picture on here. If I'm successful, I'd like an opinion on the reverse attribution. This is the...
This will be my second attempt to show doubling (not a doubled die) on this coin. My photography is slowly improving so I thought I'd have another...
This is more Photography practice. Anyone who wants to practice their variety attribution skill or grading can give it a shot.
I thought I'd see what you thought of my new lighting and the progress I'm making with my photography. Any comments on either the coin or the...
