Here&#039;s a link to Wexler&#039;s list of Lincoln&#039;s, with an extensive list of the ddo and ddr&#039;s for the 72 <a href="http://www.doubleddie.com/300201.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.doubleddie.com/300201.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.doubleddie.com/300201.html</a>&nbsp; You can find die markers to help identify which one you may have-good luck to you, but it&#039;s a great year (my favorite) to get experience on doubled dies!</p><p><br /></p><p>You are on the right track with taking pics, and it takes some experimenting to get the distance right as well as angle. First, you may be able to post better ones simply by cropping and editing your existing pics to show key areas. If not, you are already right by setting your camera on macro, and put the loupe to the lense starting from several inches back from the coin. Once you get sharp images, do your editing and zoom in and crop to show key die marker areas. Auto focus will kick in so you may have to adjust distance several times, but eventually you will find the right combination. Also, it helps if you have something under the coin to raise it but won&#039;t be visible to the camera lense and throw off focus-I use a golf tee in a wood block-just drill a hole in a scrap piece of a 2x4 and insert the tee or like object.&nbsp; This isolates it in the view as well as brings it closer to the lense. I also have an adjustable gooseneck lamp that can be tilted to light the coin on the golf tee so I can get appropriate light and have one more hand free. All of that takes minutes to set up,&nbsp; but makes for clear, easy pics that you don&#039;t have to stand on your head to take (been there, done that lol!). </p><p><br /></p><p>Here is the link to some I took of one of my favorite 72 Lincoln&#039;s <a href="http://html5-player.libsyn.com/embed/episode/id/2169848/height/210/width/210/autoplay/no/autonext/no/direction/forward/thumbnail/yes/destination_id/77517#.UOEJiyRZ7HU" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://html5-player.libsyn.com/embed/episode/id/2169848/height/210/width/210/autoplay/no/autonext/no/direction/forward/thumbnail/yes/destination_id/77517#.UOEJiyRZ7HU" rel="nofollow">http://html5-player.libsyn.com/embed/episode/id/2169848/height/210/width/210/autoplay/no/autonext/no/direction/forward/thumbnail/yes/destination_id/77517#.UOEJiyRZ7HU</a> </p><p><br /></p><p>Good luck to you-hope you can post some new pics soon![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
