Nice 1828 13 star Classic Half Cent

I like these about uncirculated half cents. I acquired this NGC 1828 13 star Classic Head Half Cent AU55BN recently. This series is really undervalued with very low mintage. Check out my other registry sets. I have almost as much fun photographing my coins as collecting them. Looking forward to seiing your images as well.

Coin Photography 101

Tips on coin photgraphy. If you have been disgusted with your coin photograph's, trust me you are not alone. But there is help on the way. A gentleman that is very active on the PCGS Message Board, Mark Goodman, has an excellent web site, http://coinimaging.com. It has many useful tips on not only improving your coin photographs but doing it inexpensively. My desire is to see more images in our NGC registry. I'm a visual kinda guy and love looking at coins. It does not take a $1000 SLR camera

Need your opinion if this half cent will make it in a NGC slab?

1834 Classic Head Half Cent I bought this 1834 half cent on ebay not long ago and needed your input if it looks original. I know there were many of these recolored and cleaned long ago. This one has very few contact marks, no hairlines and nice even brown color. I would like to have it slabbed by NGC but my expertise is IHC type and proofs. Your opinion would be greatly appreciated. What do you think it would grade?

What a beautiful IHC proof!!!

1886 T-2 IHC Proof Star Designation This beautiful 1886 T-2 IHC proof has the only star designation for type 2's. If you look up the pop report for IHC proofs NGC is very stingy giving out their stars. The star designation means that the coin has superior eye appeal. I do have to agree with their grading on this one. The obverse and reverse has beautiful blue & purple peripheral toning. Check out my other toned IHC proofs on the NGC registry. It is a PF65BN * with a Eagle Eye Photo Seal st

New Addition

Added a 1908-S to my IHC type set. Bought this 1908-S off ebay last week. This was the first IHC minted at the San Francisco Mint. It has nice luster and blue-green toning across the feathers on the obverse.

Dean's Indian Head Cent Proof & Type Sets

My dad gave me a 1902 IHC in about good condition when I was 7 years old. That coin mesmerized me and I became hooked for life. I started collecting IHC proofs about five years ago. I have bought proof at coin shows, raw on ebay, teletrade and heritage auctions. The proofs I bought from ebay raw I would submit to NGC for grading. There have been a few that have graded but most part these acquisitions were body bagged. Ebay seems to be a dumping ground for small and large coin dealers. Most of
