This. You certainly don't want the coins to come in direct contact with cardboard of any kind (eg albums), but if they are in 2x2's they are...
That is actually the same photo, just rendered in 3D.
I was looking through a BU roll of 57-D Cents and found this interesting (though minor) RPM. It is a D/D/D "rotated" variety. The image below...
VEDS is "Very Early Die State". This is essentially a new die, not showing much if any wear. As the die wears it progresses to EDS "Early Die...
I was looking through some 1954-S BU Rolls and found this VEDS example. I noticed the VEDS quality of the coin before I saw that it was an RPM...
It does look like it might be an RPM, and if so would be a strong one and very worthy of getting listed. There are not that many RPMs in the USPI...
I've heard rumors of a 1956-D that has a D somewhere in the bust, but have never seen one. 1956-D RPM #8 is a separate MM below the main one....
Yep, I think that was with 12-image stacks, and two stitched images, using the A7Rm4 Full Frame camera. Much easier than what I was doing before,...
Thanks! I'm still doing them, but also have been doing large high resolution images for folks. Here is a high res photo with a BIE. This one is...
It's because the spelling is off...rmpsrpms, not rpmsrpms. The "S" looks like paredolia to me. If it were a mintmark, it would be the...
Happy New Year to All! To kick off 2022 I am offering a new type of system for folks interested in high resolution photography. It is based on my...
I stop at 1958. I hate those newfangled "Memorials". Not kidding. @differential, if you find yourself getting into Lincolns and their Varieties,...
I've been selling these Transfer Disks with my photo systems for years, and finally decided to offer them ala carte. I call them "transfer disks"...
CONECA does not even list BIEs, so are not the authority on the subject. COC and the classic references by Cohen and Hardy are the governing...
I do have quite a few, especially 1955-S. I've "discovered" a couple as well, such as the LDB4-1955S-008B 4EL+ shown on this page on COC:...
You guys are incorrect. No matter where in LIBERTY the die chip or whatever is present, they are called BIEs. Cohen and Hardy both set that as a...
Still, it is known as a "BIE". All chips of that type around LIBERTY are generally called BIE's. It could be a ILIBIEIRITIYI and it would still be...
Really nice, clear RPM. Should be a top 100 variety IMO.
It's a numismatic rule, mr B. Been so for 200+ years.
There is at least one grader at ANACS that wears/wore gloves. A few years ago I put in a submission of 10 coins to be graded on one of their...
Separate names with a comma.
