I have newer pictures today of this 1928-D I posted nine years ago. [ATTACH] Full resolution photos [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I continue with new photos of '20s cents. Some of the old Heritage auctions refer to 1925-S as the greatest strike rarity in the series. The...
I just (this morning) had the same experience when I rephotographed my 1923-S (post #4403). I would have sworn it was maybe an XF, based on the...
I was thinking more about my post above, and I realize that if I were a grader I would not take refuge in the myth that red copper is better than...
New photos of the 1919-D. I was thinking of upgrading it until I realized it was my photo at fault, not the coin. Old photo [ATTACH] New photo...
The artistry is really excellent, and this round is beautiful.
I’m baffled! No matter how you rotate a punch when you hold it, an N still looks like an N. Where do you even buy a backwards N punch? From the...
An upgrade to my 1953-S. The reverse is a bit banged up, unfortunately - but so is my original one. Overall it is much cleaner and better struck....
Somehow I forgot to ever post this 1975-D. [ATTACH] Full resolution photos [ATTACH] [ATTACH]

I wrote my own program. It started with just a little Windows app to let me rename the photos easily. As time went on, I added the ability to see...
It's taken me 18 months to get this photographed! I upgraded from this, which has a lot of die scratches on the obverse and almost no steps on the...
A couple of more 1950 cents. I was having trouble finding a good strike that was a clean coin. Neither of these managed to displace the one I got...
My Lincoln collection is all raw coins. I wanted to put together a small grading set of MS66 / MS67 so I could get a better feel for what my raw...
Business strike. Here’s a similar one. [ATTACH]
I posted this 1/2 cent about 5 years ago in this thread (#25575). That was before I cracked it out and put it in my type set album. I just...

For this kind of purchase I use Dave’s Collectible Coins. They have a presence on eBay and also have their own web site, which I prefer. I filled...
Now this is strange. I was putting the 1926-D into the album after photographing it (post #9206). I happened to look at the 1921-S and thought it...
I have a very similar example. I also thought the digit got clogged with gunk. The presence of VDB narrows your coin down to just a few possible...
