I'm a collector. And more specifically a hole-filler. In other words, with any set I collect I want all the date/mintmark combos. My enjoyment...
Another attribute you'll need to consider at some point. Resolution. Basically how large can you make small features like mintmarks. Or doubled...
I would think a bit more light would help. Or you could photoshop it to brighten the image. Problem with that is finding the right combo of...
Coins in the MS-60/-62 range have some sort of problem that is generally not desireable. That's why they are graded that low. Luster is one of the...
The Baltimore shows always seem to do well. The Philly show was so-so, but since that was the first one there, no real history to make an...
One of these days I'm going to investigate "white balance". I know my camera is capable of being adjusted for that. I just don't know the impact...
I collect coins with the knowledge that they will likely increase in value over time. BUT not at an investment-level increase. And through a...
I'm getting my ducks in order for the Baltimore Whitman show. Less than 2 weeks to go. Besides my wantlist I'm also putting together a "visit"...
Always liked this design. I had one once, but it's long gone now. No opinion on grade or value.
Your image is just out of focus enough that I can't make an evaluation.
You certainly have value there. Only question, is it as much as you reasonably could expect. I can remember common date G/VG IHCs being priced...
I don't collect modern coins. Well, that's not quite true. But when I get the last of the territory coins (PD only) then it will be. Some of the...
IMO most recent (about the last 10 years) surges in value for Lincolns and IHCs can be explained by the state quarter program. The state quarters...
Coins grow in value over time, unlike stamps which are flat to slightly sagging at the moment. BUT Coins as an investment don't measure up to...
And you can specify that it is to be reholdered at the same grade. Problem with that is, if they think it's now a lower grade, it doesn't get...
I gave mine away long ago. Don't remember the dates.
Here's the die crack I didn't know about until I imaged the coin. I can't easily see the total extent of the crack BUT because of the picture I...
Another method has unintentionally happened to me. I have a good SLR digital camera, and I take hi res images of my coins. (Reducing an image size...
Yep, worked. Someone asked me to post my type set, so first I finished loading the images. Then after a bit of fumbling I managed to post a link...
My NGC Registry Type Set I think I've got it. http://coins.www.collectors-society.com/registry/coins/SetListing.aspx?PeopleSetID=57236
