Larry, could you tell us the size of each of these in your op? There were different sizes made. Do they say Medallic Art Co on the bottom edge?
Hi Larry, Is the bronze a larger plaque? I have more to add but this will help me be correct in what I post.
it's just wrong There is no way this coin was in the ground for almost 200 years. Something is wrong with this.
Are they worth going to NCS. Maybe I should try doing something with them myself;) Put them away as they are. What would you do? [IMG]...
I actually think NGC got it right. These are tough to grade from images and being dark makes it even tougher. At least it's not dipped to death.
I would grade it Fine. If it came from your mom it's worth much more than melt.:)
I was actually the manager of a camera shop when the AE1 came out. Minolta came out with the XE7 and it was a battle. You made the right choice...
I still have an AE1. It was a work horse. Do you remember the XE7?
The AE1 is a great old camera. Can you lock the mirror on it? I can't remember. If not, it could mess with macro imaging. Someone might have...
I would suggest getting a DSLR with a nice lens that has macro. Probably a bit more that $400 but it's worth it.
I ordered one of each and really like the design. It's a little different. Most everything Lincoln is a profile shot.
It would be really cool having a job with that many coins coming by me every day. A good friend of mine is a teller but she buys up star notes....
I would at least have to date this lady. [IMG]
Really nice Paul. They are tough to catch. It only took me about 20 images to get there.
Now that's a cool image. Always wondered how this worked. If the band came loose on a roll that large I would be running.:)
It's a great hobby. There is always something to do and it don't have to cost a lot. Getting the young folks to join in is really tough....
I see many proofs with great color but not all that many MS coins. Post some if you wish. [IMG] [IMG]
I don't think I would buy that one. The tape looks wrong. I'm thinking it has been opened several times over the years.
At this point I don't see much more that can be done. If it were mine I would remove the olive oil and leave the coin on my desk.
I was first thinking 63 but the image makes it look like it has dirt built up in the lettering.
