This one showed up today. A bit difficult to capture the color, but



BTW, I did try to get rid of the scratches.

 

The 1914-D

 

rln, is that one of those lavender toned beauties? I've seen a couple others and I'm clueless as to the cause. Any ideas?

 

Nice 19S..

 

Sorry, but I have no idea of the cause. However, I often like the results.

 

here's one

 

There you go. A man after my heart!

 

NICE! I love red wood!

 

I have a similar colored coin I'm selling on the bay:

I love those 1917 cents. The details on them is phenomenal.

I've had this coin on the "toned coin" thread, but I took new, more accurate photos today for my set registry so I thought I would share them here. NGC 65 RB.

This 1916 S is a NEWP for me and I just couldn't wait to get it pictured here. This date in MS65 has eluded me for quite sometime and when this one was offered for sale, I pursued it with little hesitation. I find the die erosion around the throat pretty cool and it makes for strong mint luster overall. The reverse obviously shows a little more red mixing with brown which I think makes for an interesting effect. JMO


This is a quick shot of my makeshift photo booth. I use two simple desk lamps in a darkened room, one with a 75w Spot flood lamp for focused incandescent light and the other one with a regular 100w incandescent bulb. The other two smaller lamps are for lighting up the inner recesses on older NGC slabs or other dark areas as needed. The plastic container was a quick way to bottom light my slabs so I can eliminate the dark shadows on PCGS and prong NGC slabs. I always have GOO GONE around to wipe off pesky sticker residue. The clear coat finisher polishing compound is always close and with a soft cloth wrapped around the electric toothbrush head, makes for pretty quick scratch remover. My camera likes to focus on either the coin or the scratches, so removing most of them first makes for crisper photos. Pretty low tech, but effective I think.

Thanks, Matt

 

Too bad about that spot. I would think it has a good chance for a 65 were it not there. Superb details on that one.

 

Results from PCGS (Pocket Change Goodie Searching) - found these recently. Not rare, not key, but hey, 95% copper, and only 1c each!
I run across AU red 1968-s cents in change fairly often, for some reason .
