zrlevin Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 I just got a San Fran proof gold commem for Hanukkah. I was out of the case when I got it; it has a few small hairlines. I figure there is no point in returning it as I will only get one returned for the same reason. I don't have a picture, but they all look the same.

TomB Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 Zach, Winston has made a very valid point. Therefore, I simply ask you to ship me the commem to image for you and I will accept the coin on behalf of the forum as an apology coin. Thank you.

zrlevin Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 I don't have good enought lighting to image proofs! I finally usurped my camera back from my dad, so maybe I'll give it a shot tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WinstonWare Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 Messing around with my new camera. I've only had it for a couple days. I was using my copy stand and getting too much light on the coins. I decided to put a sock over each of the bulbs which worked great until the fire started I’ll have to figure out a better/safer way to mute the light. These two coins I bought from our friend James.

Bruceswar Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 Nice looking coins Winston. I could not help but figure the coins looked more like this.... I hope you don't mind I fixed your images a bit.. Looks like you are on your way with the new camera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinstonWare Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 Don’t mind at all. I still have a lot of work to do with the lighting and the white balance but I thought these were a pretty good as a first attempt. Taking coin pics is a nice, virtually-free hobby to partake in between coin purchases. I actually have a bunch of coins that I just was never able to image previously.

WinstonWare Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 Here is another one that I am working on. It’s not right in this picture. It’s more iridescent purple than pink and the devices aren’t gray they are silver in color. The coin is pretty cool in hand though and is in an NGC PF66 holder. I think it will look cool once I figure out my new camera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oney Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 I picked this coin up today at the Nashua NH show. Ron gave me a good deal on the coin and I really like the look of the coin. The overdate is clear but the reverese is really interesting. The die cracks and the doubled shield really add character to the coin. Does anyone know the variety? Does it add value to the coin? Thanks for looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amanda Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 That is a cool dime! I think that's the only variety for the year, the 1811/09. Coinfacts says it is JR-1. I really like the reverse. Thanks for sharing! -Amanda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broc Mitchell Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 That is a great dime there Oney, just so you know the doubled appearence of the shield is a common feature on all capped bust coinage. It is by far my favorite series! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomB Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 That's a terrific lens, Mike! Amanda, if that is a Capital Plastics holder, which it looks like it is, then it is of a style that they have not made for perhaps two decades and it has value aside from the coins it contains. By the way, I love the look of that set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way, I love the look of that set. Yes, it is an old Capital holder. My dad has had the holder since he collected in the 70s I think. When I became interested in Numismatics last October, he started building the set for me. And it's done now! (But he was too excited to wait for Monday. ) Thanks! -Amanda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
