This is a bit of an experiment... The rubble along the bridge of the nose makes me wonder if it was varnished as a preservative. Should I give it...

The coin is raw, so their is no third-party opinion about whether it is impaired. There is no history with this coin; we're on our own assessing...
I have the coin, so I will try to take some rim pictures tomorrow. My close-up capabilities are limited, but we'll try. If any detailed images...
@Insider and @rlm's cents, I don't want to hijack the OP's thread, but I will post these two pictures to illustrate the points about unusual...
I have these pictures that I just took of an Indian Head cent that was sold as a proof. I read through the thread from last April...
I acquired the 1919-D that I did not have when I posted the 1919 and 1919-S. Unfortunately, I can't recall if I posted this already. So I took new...
Here is the rest of the 1936 family, which I started back in post #4115. Somehow I ended up with two of each. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I have had the same concerns about several ungraded coins. I hope they are OK. I read that they should all have cartwheel luster, yet there seem...
I posted the first image before (and learned that's a die clash on the reverse), but here is the whole set for 1935. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]...
I will repost this once I take it out of the cardboard 2x2, so I can get rid of the reflections off the plastic. This 1912-S is raw, so you'll...
Even if well worn and common, these have a great look to them. You don't need to spend a fortune to appreciate coins for their artistry and history.
Then you really wouldn't be comfortable when I use periods inside the file names! My camera is about 10 years old, and does not support raw...
And now for something completely different - but it is part of my photography workflow. I thought it would be a break from some of the highly...
I have set the camera to full manual. I then adjust the exposure while keeping at ISO 100 and f5.6. The exposure is adjusted until the display...
May you have some rare luck if the urge gets too strong. The one above was a raw coin bought on eBay. These were the photos. I don't think people...
This is where I wish this were a proof. But it is one of my favorites the way it is. [ATTACH]
This leaves only two Denver mint coins to go, 1914-D and 1924-D. Not so sure I'm a stickler for completeness, given the prices on those. This was...
Yes, I did. I already have a 1912, and I'm trying to avoid impulse buys, but - you know - it was just so pretty. I am so jealous. Here is my...
After learning how to deal with the lighting and exposure using the iPhone, I went back and tried the Sony again. I have repeated the two photos...
