Nice, Lee. Here's a shot with a Nikkor 200mm Micro of a coin I have a sneaking suspicion you recognize: [img] [img] :) Edited to add EXITF:...
I am 39. That's hard for me to believe. My how time flies.
Nice video. Some constructive criticism... First off, I sure hope you don't store your coins at home. You have quite a bit of money in them,...
p.s. I agree 100% with the poster who suggested RAW. It actually makes taking good photos easier, not harder, once you get over the learning...
Sry, just now saw your question. I've owned or used most of the popular ones -- Nikon 60, Sigma 90, Nikon 105, Sigma 150, Tamron 180. These...
$3.7k? Wow. The right two people really must have wanted that coin.
Wow, 65. Interesting.
63
p.p.s. Cool coin too!
p.s. on the N-13 the top left base of N in UNITED appears to have a "lump", which is clearly NOT visible in the specimen above. Again, N-16.

I'm planning on heading over on Fri and/or Sat. Not sure of the details yet -- still a few things to iron out work-wise.
I use a Nikon D300.
I'll wager nobody has one of these: [img] [img]
Looks borderline 66. At least 65, possibly 66, IMO and going solely from the photos (which is always kind of a crapshoot).
I like the 1900 and 1909. Without looking at mintages or rariity, I'd probably take the 1909 for its look.
p.s. I'm not sure that I would be "investing my retirement" entirely in gold either. To the contrary, I wouldn't recommend it as a primary...
Apmex and Silvertowne would be two companies I suggest you investigate. With your goals, I would look to purchase gold for as close to spot as...
Look on the reverse below the eagle for a mint mark, if there is one. It looks like this S-mint from 1882: [img] You can just barely make out...
Coin looks natural to my eye.
