2 Major Die Cracks

Hi everyone. There have been some post by fellow members lately in reference too images that show the coin for what it is and not trying to hide flaws and enhance it's qualities through various photo hardware. I recently stated in a previous post that I was having my Lincoln Memorial circulation issue registry set photograph by a fellow collector. He normally sends me at least 5 or more images for both the obverse and reverse of each coin. I know a lot of auction houses and sellers try to hide flaws but I think the overall appearance of a coin should be shown for what it is and sometimes those flaws add character to a coin. Here is a picture of my NGC MS67RD 1960 Large Date Lincoln Memorial and you can see the 2 major die cracks on the obverse of this coin. One extending from the hairline too Lincoln's brow and the other across the bottom. I really like how they show up in this photo especially since I was not able to capture a good image of them. I also want to congratulate one of my fellow collectors who has work very hard lately on his collection and just added one sweet Lincoln Memorial with his NGC MS69 1986D Lincoln Memorial to his collection. You guys should check it out under VUMC409 sets. I hope you enjoy the pictures and as always thanks for looking and Happy Collecting
