<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Louie_Two_Bits, post: 549842, member: 17748&quot;]Hey guys, it was was raining in northern ca today, so I decided to get $8 in cent rolls and comb through them.</p><p><br /></p><p>Out of 16 rolls; all common memorials, nothing older than 1960. But I did find a 1960 that I simply fell in love with. It&#039;s a real beauty. However, I have a few questions that I&#039;m hopeful some of you may be able to help a n00b out.</p><p><br /></p><p>1) how do I tell the difference between a 1960 L and S date? I saw a few auctions on evilbay and could not tell the difference.</p><p><br /></p><p>2) how do I take good pictures of my coins using a standard digital camera (without having to buy any equipment). Right now I use a magnifying glass, but my pictures never show the coin as it appears in person.</p><p><br /></p><p>But looking at my 1960 that I found, it actually has a &quot;rainbow&quot; tone on the front and back of purples, pinks, blues, oranges/golds, kinda like oil in water. But my picture doesn&#039;t show ANY of it.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t have an eye for coin grading yet...I just know that I like it and that this coin is very visually pleasing...therefore, can anyone tell me where this would fall on the grading scale? I am curious if this is nice coin (grade-wise) or is this just a special piece in the eye of the beholder <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>-LTB</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.cointalk.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=43262&amp;d=1237681836" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cointalk.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=43262&amp;d=1237681836"><img src="http://www.cointalk.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=43262&amp;d=1237681836" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a></p><p><a href="http://www.cointalk.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=43262&amp;d=1237681836" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cointalk.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=43262&amp;d=1237681836"></a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
