Not to mention the volatiles in highlighter ink used in that volume ought to be good for a sizable buzz while you're coloring. :)
If only to avoid Peter getting hassled to redact the post. That would prevent CT from any liability, but it doesn't exactly endear the original...
That feature at Star 12 looks more like repunching than a crack; note the point counterclockwise from it shows a line too. Higher-grade examples...
That's someone who has no clue how Lincolns are struck. I'd have a hard time not lighting up somebody who demonstrated the willingness to grade...
AU64. :P I do not think the color should necessarily allow a straight grade, but I would not care even if it were in a Details slab. Drop-dead...

The more important point - the greater goal - here is not so much figuring out what the "best light" is for shooting coins, but learning what the...
You may be "new," but you're obviously not new to wisdom. :)
On the bright side, either of what you received - IMO - are better coins than the disfigured second one the seller pictured. That one looks like...
Well, we_do_know that some pretty high percentages of the total 1880's mintage at Carson City was released in the GSA sales, the vast majority...
