Hi, I haven't yet bought the books to start filling and sorting but looking for a estimate.. I have all the penny's except the 09S VDB. 1909 is a XF 1909 VDB is a XF 1909S is a strong F 1914D is a solid G 1914S is a VG 1931S is a F 1910S is a VF+ 1911S is a F 1912S is a F 1913S is a F 1922D strong D is a F 1922D weak D is G From the 20's I have VG to F. The 26S is a G+? From the 30's to 58's all should be VF to XF and alot AU's and BU's which isn't hard to do as there are so many made. Any Guesses my coin friend experts? or guesstimate
I know! Just need to sort them and get a better camera. I also have a few repeats in the 09's, 10s, 11s, 12s, 13s, to figure which is the best..
Until you post clearly focused, cropped photos of obverse and reverse of each coin, you're not likely to get much feed back on this post, IMHO.
If you can post us some pics, Everyone is going to grade a coin differently as well as you could be missing or over looking something, so if you can please try and snap a couple even if the coins are all together. Thanks and good luck with your hunting and filling the book, its very fun and rewarding hobby.
I will.. hopefully soon. I still use a cheap flip phone by choice. It use to take good pics but you know how that goes. I "think" I grade coins ok and maby a little under rated. It would be nice to get expert opinions here though. I stumble on grading if the obverse isn't on par with the reverse. Other than a good showing date I also look for strong wheat lines on these pennies a little more than Lincoln's figure..??
Best I can do for now for a few pics. 09S 31S 14D Is my grading ok? The S on the 09 is a clear punched S, it's on the end of the magnifying glass that makes it look like a little blob. The white stuff is just paper towel fibers.
A little better pic of the 09S. I'm using a table magnifying glass with a flashlight pointed at the side and my cheap flip phone aimed up top, plus my shaky hand.. Then I send them to my Email and down load them. It's the only way I know!
Got a few pic's up the best I can. Sorry for the triple posts but can't figure out how to delete some of them??
