or is it the coin sets on the template?
Okay, now I understand. Yes, I have run across this before and have learned the attitude of the coin is as important as lighting. I have also...
No. Because I have 2 stands already that I use for full-size pics, but mostly use to park the scope. My problem is a flaky 1 MP Brightwell that...
To what template are you referring?
Rick thanks a ton for the info links...are you using it with a computer and is it Win10 compatible? I did not see this mentioned, maybe I missed...
Michael K was closest to correct (my longhand scratchin' sucked). The nickel would have to attain a value of $5.05 to be a 10,000% profit. (It...
Rachel...every time you handle a roll of coins you risk damaging them. The high points of both sides will rub together and eventually cause "coin...

CORRECTION! I just found an error in my longhand (up too late, tired...reading CT). Turns out there is a 1900% increase for each $1.00 step of...
Talking increase, not multiples. If you write it out longhand, like I did, you will see. You are adding 100% with each step increase of 5 cents,...
.05 to .10 = 100% increase. .05 to 1.00 = 1500% increase. .05 to 5.00 = 5 times 1500, or a 7,500% increase.
My apologies to anyone waiting for my next experiment results....I've had a delay with supplies. I will post asap when done...Spark:jimlad:
Reverse 53 (worn steps, etc.) better shape obverse @ a 58...net grade au55...7-9 cents.
Yeah, I'm going to try the water softener trick, suggested by Roman Collector, on my next coin. This time I 'm going to use a spoiled 2014 sheild...
Seasoned coin folk agree that my final result does indeed look like it's been cleaned, because it has been. However on a scale of 0 to 10, the...
