It's not exactly like the one at Cudsoncoins, but probably just because of the progression. I think you've attributed it correctly and whether...
I'd say its fairly common. This is especially noticeable on freshly issued coinage. After it's in circulation, the evidence starts to fade. I...
I was in the same place a Publius. Again, not being critical, but sharper images would remove most (all?) doubt. You may want to browse photo...
Here are the subject reference coin links: Coppercoins:...
I agree with your assessment. I use Coppercoins for most of my attributions but sometimes the other sites have listings that they don’t. I think...
I’m really pleased to see that your coin graded higher. I understand that TPGs rely more on the obverse condition than the reverse when setting...
Nice pictures though. Optimally taken.
I can say that finding high grade 70's coinage during a CRH event is harder than finding higher grade 60's nickels. That's a nice looking...
I think EF pricing from Coppercoins gets you close to a buy price. $9
That's one of the more valuable RPMs for the date as well. Glad you could confirm the markers and die state. Your's looks to be in better shape...
If I had to guess, it might be this: http://www.coppercoins.com/lincoln/diestate.php?date=1952&die_id=1952d1mm016&die_state=mds Your pictures are...
It's hard for me to see splits and notches and to see what else is going on in the fields. Identify if its an RPM and then start the hunt for the...
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...
