I think the key is how the coins were stored. Folks who state that older coins are all toned are correct that single coins, not protected from the...
I did know the story, but that link has a lot more info about it than I've ever read before. Thanks!
There are two approaches that seem to work for raw coins: - ringlight that is big enough in diameter to not shine any light directly to the lens....
A while back I had accumulated ~6 BU rolls of 1946-S Cents, and made a tally of the 3 mintmark types. This was the result: Total Coins: 255...
Yep, not a coin...it's a Mint Error. Numismatically interesting, but not legal tender.
Someone else will need to answer this since I don't own an uncirculated 1916 Dime.
Well, of course there are markers (though maybe not distinct ones) that can be used to identify the coin. Every coin die is unique, though it...
OK, sure. There is a finite probability that a bank bag existed and contained this error coin. I think this would have made the news, but perhaps...
I am absolutely correct that I disagree adamantly about all your theories ;) Seems the point you're making is that because bank-wrapped rolls of...
I disagree adamantly about all your theories. 1. There are NO ORIGINAL BU ROLLS OF 1916 DIMES IN EXISTENCE 2. There are NO ORIGINAL MINT BAGS OF...
Really, a mint bag of 1916 Dimes? I'd expect that it may have some die diagnostics same as a particular 1916 die, so that would explain how they...
I guess I am not one of the chosen ones.
Nope, no link there. Several other offers, but no 10% bucks...
I normally get emails alerting me to these, but did not for this one. Is there a way to access these promos on eBay? Is there a way for you to...
Whoah, that is beyond cool. The quality of the photo looks very good, so in hand this must be impressive.
That's gorgeous! Very well done.
Sorry, but I don't find those designs very good at all, at least as far as a minted product. They indeed are beautiful as drawings, with highly...
You were experimenting with axial lighting earlier. Axial is the preferred technique for bringing out deep toning colors.
My experience is with adapters and manual lenses, using tethering software that performs exposure simulation, so no need to adjust aperture for...
Aperture Priority doesn't care about aperture linearity for manual lenses. Just set the aperture where you want it to get acceptable DOF, and the...
