@RonSanderson and @Lem E those are some nice 1920's! I have just 5 more cents to finish out the 1920's and the year 1920 makes up 3 of them, so I must be envious of your coins; nice catches!

Alas, here is my most recent pick up from just a year earlier.

 

Found this 09S R/B at LCS. Finest example I have owned.

 

WoW ! Long Thread . Okay here I go. 1909VDB

 

I was just looking over the listings at a well-known dealer, and they have two listings for this coin in MS67+. The one ending today is just under $1000.

To my amateur eye they don’t seem any better than this one I got as part of a set, and for which I figure I gave $1.80.

 

You Paid $1.80 for a set ? This your Picture ? If so, Nice for
1.80?

 

I think I paid around $225 for a partial set of Lincolns in a Dansco album. The coins before 1934 had been taken out, presumably so the dealer could sell them individually. But the average cost of the others was about $1.80 each. It gave me a heck of a head start on my set, because all the coins were BU. I had to add the newer years where the set did not reach, and I had the fun of hunting down the first 25 years of the set.

This is my picture. After some experimentation I have a setup that lets me rotate the coin under the lights and stitch together 9 images into an animation.

Edit: Here is the camera setup. The camera is mounted on a round piece of plywood that serves as a platform for the coin. Under that big round board is a little turntable (a lazy Susan) that lets the coin and camera rotate together under the lights.

 

Beautiful coin - love the toning!

 

Yes, Very Nice set up . You should see mine .
All it is a small USB hand held or mounted set-up . Lighting not included . It's one of those Dino-lite's.

 

Nice show-n-tell, thanks everyone.

 

I posted elsewhere, but I am still riding high on the purchase, so forgive the frequent location post:

 

If you don't mind my asking, where did you buy it and how much?

 

I got it at a coin show and paid $260. I found only two certified at the show and the other by another dealer was XF 40 and green beaned...just a bit out of my price range.

 

Thanks!
