    Since I have classes on coin club night, I haven't been able to pick up much new material, but this last week there was a chance and so I went and picked up these 4 coins. Still need to recover my photo skills. 1936-D San Diego , 1936 Bridgeport with a small spot in the eagles wing pit, 1880-S $, and a nice 1907 IHC, I was happy to see the Bridgeport as P.T. Barnum was an interesting guy.

    I was going to save that discussion for after I got the triocular scope out and set up as the MM is ragged and could be a RPM , and with the loupe the R and the Y seem to have some , but I want better photos before I say its not MD :) I liked the cent for old times ( my first major collection), and the 1880-S had great wagon wheels.

    Well your post got me curious. I put extension rings on the camera and shot these 2, still a little fuzzy, but best I can do with handheld camera. Others will have to wait until the scope comes out of the closet. :) Jim

    That San Diego looks very lustrous.

    Yes, the SD is very lustrous, hard to photograph it. The 1880S is also and there is nice contrast. I have looked at quite a few Bridgeports and most had "wing rub " on the reverse. Classy eagle, but little protection. The pricing was good also, so that makes every thing even better. I think I am the only remaining older collector in the club that likes these halves. That's good for me. Jim
