1980 clamshell Lincoln
You bet. I could've started another CAC thread, but I like myself too much.

Lincoln cent (no date). A planchet-feeding error resulted in the planchet being absolutely vertical (and spinning) when the dies struck.

Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......
Was that photo taken using a polished ring reflector?

The magic of Mark Goodman. Here is the coin itself:

Ignore the stuff in the center...
We need to have a thread for imaging CAC stickers only or for TPG labels - no coins. That's what so many care about anyway.
The edges are down there somewhere...
Did you crack all of those or buy them raw? Very cool
Off center 1983 p quarter.
All bought raw. And all the same date (1911). It was a few years ago, and I've ended up selling a majority of them by now. I think I only have 15 1911's left, but I still have enough other dates I could maybe pull off the picture again, lol.
This thread is so edgy!
Insert witicism here. [ xxx ]
This thread has me on the edge.. of my seat, of my sanity, of a breakthrough..... well, on the edge of something...
I will say, it is a unique idea... Cheers, RickO

Top: Edge of pattern 1907 Eagles showing irregular size of stars. The edge collar was cut by machinists, not Engraver Barber. (He was on vacation in August 1907.)
Bottom: Edge of Extremely High Relief double eagle pattern MXMVII. The same 3-part collar was used on the Barber/Morgan 1906 prototype double eagle. This photo was made using a concave mirror (much like a flashlight reflector), then transforming the circular image into a straight line using Photoshop tools. The slight irregularity is from the coin not being perfectly centered in the mirror.
1917-D Buffalo.

Dear Mark....this is not allowed p/OP. You go to the bird house now
Are those the edges of the 2 different Canadian Dimes in 1968?
1809 O.110 xxx-edge CBH. Hmm...

I'm not sure what yr it was, but the Mint had an issue with the reeded edges on the gold eagles. The same denomination had 2 different counts of reeds.

Is that an UHR or an error?
Hey Paradisefound, which medal is that?
I've also got one of those -- definitely very high relief. Mine is an inaugural medal for the 37th President dated January 20, 1969.

Here is Mark's annular edge photo rolled out. Slight distortion is due to the coin not having been perfectly centered.

great idea for a thread @stooges +1
