Post your Lincolns!

Very nice!

Is that a small lamination below the left wheat?

I liked the color on this one a lot. I found it at a local show today. The amount of detail they worked into the teen-Lincolns is so gorgeous.

 

What kind of Camara and lighting do you use for
your picture taking? Thank you and beautiful Lincoln Cent.

 

I use a Canon SD1400IS Point and Shoot mounted on a copy stand. I set the camera to timer mode to avoid hand-shake, and I use the Macro setting (the little Tulip icon). For lighting I use three small LED gooseneck lights from IKEA. I position the lights high right next to the camera and as high as possible without the camera causing a shadow. This high lighting means less shadows from the devices than side-lighting. You can see the lamps I use at this link: http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/20169658/

I hope that helps! And thanks for the comment on my new cent. I couldn't pass it up for $15. It has beautiful unadultered surfaces and great colors. Even with the couple carbon spots on the reverse, it still caught my eye.

EDIT (added later): If you're curious, I use a free-ware image editing software called GIMP (Gnu Image Manipulation Program). It allows for editing almost the same as very expensive software like Adobe Photoshop. In the past, I used Adobe Photoshop CS4 (and I still have a copy), but I've been using more open-source freeware lately.

The little one is a 9mm 14k gold Lincoln (an $8 value!) I got in 1983 from the International Mint to commemorate that end of the copper cent in 1982.
(Forgive the photo quality, today is my first day shooting coins.)

 

Some NP's that were upgrades for me from my 64RD's.

 

Picked up a couple toners too! Here's the first one:

 

I found a 1939 that is almost the same colors as a 39-D I have....I was thrilled to finally found a matching coin! These plum colored Lincolns are tough without major marks and distractions.

 

Here's a fun one.

That has got to be a 66. Very well struck particularly for a date noted for poor strikes.

 

LOL. I'd say you've been around the block.

Thanks for the nice comment, rlm!

Here's another really tough one. I've been looking for a full red in nice shape for 8 years.

This is a PCGS, CAC 64RB.
Lance.

 

Now there is a rough one to get - and it is even another nice strike. Abe even has some beard on a 26-S!

 

Indeed..good luck finding a full red with nice details Lance.

 

Here's a Lincoln with character.....how original looking is this puppy?

 

Wow.. nice page of cents here.

 

That 1931-S is a jaw dropper. I can't think of words to say about that wheatie. Thank you Lance for sharing that
cent with us.
