    I agree with Stang, also try to orient your shots north and south and use a white background to shoot photos it gives a truer color.

    Wow you been finding some oldies
  5. J P M
    cool

    I still keep most of them, but these are really rough, and I am sure a new collector may get a chance to see them.

    Just doing some fishing today, no keepers yet looks like a catch and release day. Still fun to find Wheaties in rolls.

    This is a rough one. I need another opinion? Is this looking like a 1919 S

    Whenever I see an old Coin or Red Book, I try to buy it. I now have the 30th 50th Anniversary edition, 56th and the 75th Anniversary edition.

    The wife wanted to go to the old bookstore today, so I said sure. She got nada but I found a nice 30th edition for $3.50 I think that is 55 cents over the original price.

    Not rare, just hard to find not sure why. Maybe because there are less than fifty graded higher.

    Oh I forgot to say Welcome ,Bel

    Yes white is always a better background. If you can shoot before you put it in the flip. Your shots are nice but still a bit out of focus that will come with more practice. Try to find a focus point on the coin and go with that.

    Welcome, even a butterknife handle will work to push them down.

    Yes, I agree. I have mentioned before that where I live is a big retirement area. Almost all the old banks have large walk-in vaults with safety deposit boxes. I think when the estates of these people come up a lot of stuff is cashed in.

    Yes it is groovy. In a few spots

    Very nice Rob, how did you find this one. Did you pull that coin from a proof set?
  19. J P M
    A great idea but this is a nine-year-old thread.

    These coins are by no means worth grading I just find it amazing to find (cartwheel effect) 40+year-old Bu coins in circulation. These coins must have come from a collection now released into the wild.

    I think anything after 1981 is a mess once the core is exposed it is all down hill from there eventually, they all end up looking like Frankenstein

    It is an unusual coin to find in a roll. I does happen from time-to-time because not too many coins get looked at when rolled automatically. I roll hunt a little and these are some examples of coins I have found in different coin rolls.

    I look at the curl on the 9 when you can see it, if it goes up it is a small date and downward if it is a large date.
  24. J P M
    Oh no not another thing to look for when roll hunting. I see cents of a different color all the time and think that it is because of the zinc core, or someone left the coin in the cup holder in the car to long.

    Nice find.
