@Lehigh96 Good choice! Here are the two 1942 proofs. For anyone unfamiliar with how the War Nickels were phased in, both versions were struck in...
I like this 1928-D that I found for $40 on eBay. I got a number of coins from this same buyer, and I pretty much liked all of them. I like the...
I feel this (former) ANACS MS 65 RB was a good deal at $30. I love the fiery intensity of the color in all the crevices. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I have a picture of my setup in this post Post your coin photography set-up The camera stand, the camera, and the coin all sit on a little...
I just used a full roll of toilet paper as my phone stand. I thought the white paper would reflect the light onto the coin from another direction...
I won’t be baited into revealing anything! Just wait a day or two and I will say something stupid in another post to catch up.
The 1927-S did not have good strikes or good dies for the most part. The NGC Coin Explorer had to use this coin as its plate coin, in spite of two...

1926-D from eBay for $30. It’s one of the very few cents without any red. These are another issue where good strikes are hard to come by. As you...

I paid $104.50 for a 1925-S that was pretty well made, but dirty and dull. [ATTACH] I experimented with the distilled water / acetone /xylene...
I’m not perfectly happy with either of these 1925-D’s. But I am very, very close to it. Each has a flaw but the overall appearance and toning...
A nice 1925 can be found pretty easily. This was $30 on eBay. A full red coin is more valuable, but I actually like the look of a nice red-brown....
I guess they ran out of silver, so used gold for this one. [ATTACH]
This 1924-S was covered with something, possibly varnish, when I got it from eBay for $165. [ATTACH] It took me a few years to work up my...
