Generally speaking, you can get great shots with a camera. You need to employ the same tactics...but perhaps in a different plane. The key is...
As Pickin and Grinin states, knowing what die state your coin was coined at will help you with establishing the correct markers to identify your...
More to consider: Sources of information are critical and not all sources are created equal. Something you should keep in the back of your mind...
Unfortunately, it's not a very valuable piece. But you did find one in nice condition for your collection. If you have more than one of those,...
@Bluntflame Steady your phone on an object that has some mass to it to sharpen your images. The object should be as tall as you need to keep your...
It looks like the OP thought the coin was an OMM; D over S. There is one listed, but it's not like the OP's coin. It could be an RPM, but I...
This is the only OMM for the date that I could find: http://coppercoins.com/lincoln/diestate.php?date=1952&die_id=1952d1om001&die_state=mds
Ah...but aren't the work systems fun! I have been lucky over the years to have nice, expensive setups at my clients. But that's a big investment...
You got me to thinking...I'm wondering what date/mm rolls are incomplete in my roll set (aside the key dates).
Yes, that is the SD. The inner loop of the 9 points to the 7 on the SD. On the LD, it points toward the MM. Also, the mushy LIBERTY helps...

I'm guessing that there's not extra premium for that then (DDO-007).
Maybe $6 for the cent. Not sure on the half. But I agree; doubled dies for both.
The good news Marie...you are experiencing what most folks experience. Don't worry though. Once you find a true DD, you will start to develop...
Looks LD...but let's hold for the sharper image.
I suppose it's always a bonus to be working an area where relics and coinage can be found. Up to now, I haven't invested in a serious metal...
I got 8 rolls of 63D's to search. No 62Ds in this bunch, but a few rolls of 61Ds. And several Philly rolls for DDs. All Unc. There are a...
Pretty awesome finds, but they are an excitable duo. Rough digs and rubbing the coins...yikes!! Amazing what the earth holds though. I hope...
Die damage in the area of the MM and other devices create issues like this. As noted, it's quite common. No premium for this. What you will...
Looks like it was trapped in something for a while where it rolled on edge. This is damage. If you look up on YouTube on how folks make rings...
