Art Posted November 22, 2011 Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 We've got threads for posting Roosevelt Dimes, Jefferson Nickels, Presidential Dollars and now what is probably the single most collected of all "modern" coins, the Lincoln Cent.

Steve D'Ippolito Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 Gotta figure out how to photograph my MS-67 steelie. From what I can tell the highest any have ever been graded is MS 68. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Posted November 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 Gotta figure out how to photograph my MS-67 steelie. From what I can tell the highest any have ever been graded is MS 68. That can be quite a challenge. I'm still very unhappy with my coin photographs but I'll keep working on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve D'Ippolito Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 It is more difficult in a slab to be sure, especially one that is badly scuffed up. (Sometimes short depth of field can take care of a scuff on the slab.) I have better luck photographing raw coins. But someday when I have nothing pressing to do I will probably run through my entire typeset which is about half done--alas the stuff that is left is the expensive and/or difficult to find fully struck stuff.

Mark Stilson Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 Okay, I only have a few of my cents photographed. And they are all problem coins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Posted November 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 Nice Lincolns Mark. One of the great things about Lincolns is the variety of conditions you can find them in and the huge number of people who collect and hoard them.

thedeadpoint Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 What is the third one? A broadstrike? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Stilson Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 Yep, broad struck or out of collar with bubbles under plating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve D'Ippolito Posted November 25, 2011 Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 My eyes are watering, I guess you were right about the sunglasses. Also you'd better have broadband. It was noticeably slow to load in my medium-broad band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Art1.2 Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 Wowww... how do the companies grade the luster and... ruster... of some of those steelies? I think steelies are particularly difficult to grade. There have been so many resurfacing and replating projects that it can be quite difficult to tell at first glance. High quality circulated coins can easily be made to appear to be MS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art1.2 Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 I really prefer the look of coins in the NGC slabs even though the majority of my coins are PCGS slabbed. This came about mostly because NGC allows me to enter PCGS or NGC or NCS coins in my Registry Sets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Art1.2 Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 Is there something special on the edge? No. It's just the plain edged Lincoln. Why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art1.2 Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 A lot of the folks around here seem to think that the shield reverse on the Lincoln is a big improvement over the Memorial. I think it's just that it's new and different. What do you say? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
