[QUOTE="kanga, post: 1813750, member: 9270"]Thanks for all the compliments. Between the rather "flat" toning and the low relief on the obverse of the half dime my standard lighting setup left it with only a little definition. That's why I photoshopped it. I'll re-image it and either change the angle of my light OR add a second low grazing light. Probably have to experiment to see what works better. The four (maybe) affordable coins that I'm missing in from least to most expensive are: -- Draped Bust/Small Eagle Dollar (1795-1798) -- Draped Bust/Small Eagle Dime (1796-1797) -- Flowing Hair/Wreath Cent (1793) -- Liberty Cap/Head Left Half Cent (1793) As for the IHC's I have a great relationship with a nationally known small cent dealer. Every IHC I have I got from him. He selects coins for me that are top end for the grade. There are a couple that he suggested would probably upgrade. The rest would stand a VERY GOOD chance at a "green bean".[/QUOTE]
