For the love of copper 4 4

Sorry, I posted this in the token query. Here is the next to last Draped Bust Half Cent I needed for my Meghrig Album, an 1806 Large 6 C-4. Also, for those of you who like half cents, here is my Meghrig Album collection. I lack the 1802 also, but do not count it as too expensive and probably will not own one.  So, I stuck in a COPY to fill the hole. Not saying it's right, just that I did.

Respectfully, as a long-time collector, what's your stance on incandescent bulbs for photographing coins?

Here are a couple of coppers, 1803 Kettle Token and 1863 Trade and Commerce Token(in for a soak) for your viewing pleasure or displeasure.

Hello Everyone... I've been on this forum before but took a long hiatus. I couldn't quite figure out how to retrieve my old account... so I started a new one here. 

Copper is one of my faves!!

 

[jesbroken]

A replacement for my 1808 C-3, which is far lower grade but better fits my collection.

Thanks! I had been trying to get back onto this site for some time but I couldn't figure out how to reset the password on my old account... so  I just created a new one...

Looks like a "know" a few folks over here :-)

Glad you "rejoined", as I did the same recently. Hopefully, more will come.

Nice. Have not seen this one before. Great condition.

Glad to have you back.

Very interesting piece, riddled with symbolism, and uniquely accented by mini-bullet bollards and what can only be described as "eighticles."  Great conversation starter!

I found out on another forum that it is apparently an ad from Delma K. Romines advertising Error Variety News, with the address in Quakertown, PA 18951

I liked this coin better as a replacement for my album 1808 Draped Bust Half Cent than the one I previously listed. I like this coin a lot better, but has taken me longer than I thought to get it and photograph it. Thanks for your patience.

I've been playing around with lighting for my camera set-up... Here's the same coin. The first two set of images are with the old (2-light) set-up, the last two are with two additional LED's... LMK what you think. 

 

 

[rrantique]

I like the first two better

[ldhair]

The first two are ok but you need to work on the white balance.

The second two are worse. It looks as if you are missing the type of lighting.
