NGC AU58

Can anyone fill me in on what I'm missing? Why is that in an MS63 holder? I only see two abrasions on the obverse, one on each leg. There is a bit of chatter on the lower shield rivets, and the head is not full, but that's about it. The reverse has a small "dig" in the left field. But, the luster is strong, and the strike is superb for 1919 as far as I can tell. Again, this isn't my series, but I'm seeing MS64 or slightly better.

Nothing too exciting, but using some of my newps to improve my photography skills.

NGC MS68RD

Picked this one up about a week ago. It has a completely PL obverse, and a pretty amazing reverse to boot! And, it was $11.98 including postage!

Brg what is the grade on that Jeff? Looks amazing!!

It is graded MS67 by NGC. No FS, as there is a nick on the left and some chatter in the middle. The clean and nick free obverse is what caught my attention at first.

Some new images.

Those are die polish lines in the reverse fields, especially below Monticello.

In hand, I bet that coin is quite attractive. In the TrueView, it looks neon and ridiculous.

I agree with Jason. That's a stellar coin, despite what appears to be a PCGS saturation boost problem. Look forward to seeing your pics Bob.

Got this one a few days ago.

I picked this one up about a week ago, and it arrived today. It was a fun coin to image with my new setup (see thread here).

Today in the mail I got my new bellows and a new lens that let me create my first focus stacked photograph. The image was created by combining 5 images taken a different focusing points. I hope to explore this more in the near future. Below are my new toys and my first picture with the new equipment.

Got this one for $15 BIN, free shipping. Yes, it's a type 2.

Great image.

Thanks Larry. I've finally got my set up to a decent point. Here is the only other graded Morgan that I own, to keep the trend going...

The Morgan in my Type Set (reimaged today).

Picked up this little curiosity for $12 BIN, with free shipping on the Bay.

I have changed my photo set up and my lights. Here is my newest type set coin reimaged.

 

What set up do you have now? What type of lights?

I use a Canon 50D with OttLite lighting. I'm currently using a Tamron telephoto lens. It's not optimal, but it has a good macro focusing range (but somewhat poor glass). I'm waiting for my bellows and adapters to arrive to set up properly for macro photography. The Otts made a big difference for the imaging, but I still need to build a proper mounting bracket for the lamps so I have more control of their positioning. It's been a fun learning process...

Picked this up back in September for $12. It's graded MS66RB by PCGS. Any comments on the rim? It seems to be a bit "thin" on the left. At first I thought it was just pushed under the PCGS gasket, but I believe what's showing is all there is.

I have changed my photo set up and my lights. Here is my newest type set coin reimaged.

OK, here is the other WLH that came today. It's coin #4 in my WLH Short Set.

This one arrived today (after the holiday back-up of packages). I shot the pictures with diffused light to bring out the detail in the strike.

Have been looking to add a few more Lincolns to my 1934-58 set. I picked this one up for $15.

Received this one today for my type set.

Hardtimes, that is BEAUTIFUL! I have been looking for one of those for some time for my horse collection. For now I just have to admire yours. If you ever care to part with that beauty, I am definitely interested!

Cheers,

1883 No Cents, V Nickel

I added this one to my horse-themed set today. It's a "wow" coin in hand. I'm very pleased with it, and the horse look is quite different from the other Hannover coins I have in my set. This Saxon Steed rendition is quite a bit more emaciated and I really like the flowing hair! It's a hard one to photograph, as the little guy is only about the size of a US dime.

I am happy to see some modern issues!! I'll get this back to a classic design (Lincoln Memorial).
