Thank you, all. As I mentioned, the objective was to capture the true color of the coion. I think my new 'technique' as primitive as it is, comes...

Perhaps one of the most difficult coin-types for me to properly capture on camera have always been coppers, specifically large and half cents, and...
So hard to say which one I like best....all are great coins, but that large cent is really, really nice. Great surfaces and detail.
Regarding the marks on the obverse. Stacks called them adjustment marks if I recall (sale was in 1988). I think these are indeed adjustment...
Yes, thank you! I was referring to the small bumps on the reverse, but also small taps between 3:00 and 6:00, plus slight edge 'roughness' on the...
Consider please the edge taps, and what are, in my opinion (and also described as such in the catalogue), adjustment marks. The coin shows very...
Well done, CBD. I love stories like this. Those dimes are amazing!

That really made me laugh. Good one!
Yes, this coin as 95 % of my collection, is not slabbed. I got it from a B&M auction back in 1988 (or thereabouts) described as MS with woodgrain...
I have a question about ANAC Details/Net slabs. I have an 1874-S quarter in one of these. It does not look obviously/blatantly cleaned, it is...
That never ending thread on the 1909/1919 s VDB made me want to look at mine again. (This one is actually real) Post your 1909-s vbs's !...
Thank you very much, guys. This is very useful to me!
Thank you, @expat. This is very useful to me! This is going to Latin America so I need to make sure I comply with regulations and minimise the...
