I re found these yesterday in a ammo box I put away years ago. I am pretty sure that I can remember the estate sale I bought them from. Think it was 2011. I had opened a Denver 06' roll and I believe a 61p roll I will try to find the coins I kept and give you a preview of what they look like. They are aging well. I don't remember the 60's to be FS. But I do remember them being full of luster and nice later die state coins. I will try to photo some in the morning stay tuned. The two P mints at the bottom are 05P buffalo reverse. Both showing EOR toning. I think that they are aging nicely.
Think how much fun you'll have when the brain gets all "every day be jus' like that". TV reruns won't annoy you. You can make new friends every day. You won't remember what you ate for breakfast, but your mind will play back music from 50 years ago.
I hope those days don't happen for a good 30+ years! You hang in there @V. Kurt Bellman I have been told by some old boys that it isn't so bad.
The return to Monticello's really went crazy they started out a very mild gold color last time I looked at them. And have started getting deeper colors in the past few years. Still not sure I like the design on these, and they are hard to not create shadows when photo'ing.
Make light (pun intended) of not trusting photos all you like, folks. The result is stuff like that dude who posts drive-by YouTube videos in which he labels motion blurred pictures as rare doubled dies. But that's not all. We've had literally hundreds of newbmeisters post pictures of coins with strange lighting that look like things they are not. Single still photos are inadequate for looking at coins, always have been, and always will be. Coins are 3-dimensional objects, with the possible exception of millions of AG3 Barber dimes, and 2-D photos are a lesser representation.
@V. Kurt Bellman I shall change the light up for you Sir. It was petty hard to follow what your response was, but I took it that you are having a hard time reading my photos.
This is a different 61P from the same roll. Photo'd under the same conditions as the last return to Monticello.
It's not YOUR photos; it's ALL use of still photos to examine coins. I believe it is ALL fundamentally unsatisfactory.
