<p>[QUOTE=&quot;coinman1234, post: 2308975, member: 51208&quot;]For Christmas I got a new lens for my Nikon D5200. This one is really good for coins and can focus clearly from less than 1 inch away. Anyways, I decided to test it on some small cents to see how it would perform. Overall, I&#039;m impressed, my old lenses could only clearly focus if the coin was over 1 foot away, I had to zoom a lot just to see the coin. The lens will also be good for star photography, being that it has an infinity focus.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here are some photos that I took with the new lens today.</p><p><br /></p><p>I also am going to attempt to put my grading skills to the test and try to grade them, please tell me if I am doing OK at grading.</p><p><br /></p><p>1879 Indian Head Cent. Looks to be in around low EF condition</p><p>[ATTACH=full]465101[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>1909 Lincoln Cent. Looks to be in around MS-63 RB, though it could be AU-58</p><p>[ATTACH=full]465102[/ATTACH] </p><p>1909 VDB Lincoln Cent. Either a weakly struck MS-62 BN or an AU-53. The reason that I think that there is a chance it is MS is due to how much luster it has, unlike all of my other AU coins.[ATTACH=full]465103[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>1910 Lincoln Cent. Looks very nice in hand, very nice surfaces. Looks to be around MS-64 BN</p><p>[ATTACH=full]465104[/ATTACH] </p><p>1859 Indian Head Cent. I found it in a roll of cents back in 2013. Looks to be in around F-12 condition</p><p>[ATTACH=full]465105[/ATTACH] </p><p>1966 Lincoln Cent, deep red color in hand which is hard to capture in any photos. I would guess that it is around MS-64 RD</p><p>[ATTACH=full]465106[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
