I know exactly how you feel. I saw this the other day and looked at a dozen other photos of proofs before concluding, reluctantly, that the rims...
@BadThad inspired me to take a closer look at my photo technique. At first, I had tried a Sony super-zoom camera with disappointing results. Then...
Could be, could be... And my picture may be at fault, too. I changed the lighting and tried again with different orientations. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]...
A pair of 1936 Philadelphia mint issues. The first is raw, the second is graded. I wonder which is actually better? The raw one is from a set, so...
And have a happy '17. (Yes, I know it's "Post your Lincolns!" - there's a Lincoln in here, too.) Each of these will complete a century this year....
I did not have a 1917-S. This was on eBay from the dealer I bought the 1928-D's from (among others) so I have an element of trust built up. I just...
Somehow I missed posting these Denver cents along with their compatriots. Later in the date set the coins are all red. I really like the 20's and...

[ATTACH][ATTACH] [ATTACH] The reverse of the -S has this good-sized die crack. There is also a crack in the planchet just in front of Lincoln's...
PCGS MS65. $31. [ATTACH]
I have only a handful of graded cents. This is NGC MS65. [ATTACH] This one has a new picture. It was a salvage of a PCGS graded AU53, discussed...
You're OK, I'm sure. After all, you did get back a penny, so you're at 49.99.

I believe these are die scratches on the reverse. The coin has terrific luster.[ATTACH] Alas, I have no 1919-D at this time...:(:(. But, this S...
I posted this coin before, but this is a much better picture. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] This picture of the 1918-D was already posted, but here it is...
Thanks. So many have contributed so much before me. I'll be thrilled if I can find a path to help anyone else.
Another step forward with the iPhone. [ATTACH] I thought the images above were pretty good, until I held the coin up next to it. They just didn't...
I tend to agree. When I was comparing mine to that one, I kept looking at the dings and thinking "Geez, mine looks better than that...". It makes...
Regrettably, the doubling is not apparent on either my small date proof or the large date. Below, the Small is on top; Large is on the bottom. It...
