The same machine that gave me silver twice in the last two weeks.
Do you see what I see?

    A silver Rosey, probably a 64-D. There is a long running Coin Star thread, but it's not frequently used these days, and usually drops off the first page.

    I think i've found 3 silver roosies, 1 steel cent, and a ton of foreigns in those things over the past 2 years. My 6 year old always looks for me.

    That's the best, when you can get others to check for you.

    I have a friend who always checks when she goes to the supermarket.

    Even when we're there together I try to get her to do the dirty work so I can preserve my reputation. B)

    Although, on that one occassion when I spotted what turned out to be almost $14 face in silver dimes and quartets I cast my coolness aside and dove in.

    i see that if you had just a bit more light, whatever you used to image those coins would be putting out some fantastic images. VERY clear, sharp and large.****

    Thanks. Just a simple digital point & shoot. Maybe I need to try natural light.

    Actually, my wife made this score. I've trained her well.

    .
    not that you needed to as the images MORE than represent what you want to show but i should have also said, OR with a bit of post-processing clean up the images to superb quality!

    i didn't edit the brightness or contrast. it is one of my new favorite features (really old tho) and that is adjusting shadows. i did sharpen JUST a tad.

    in this instance, the brightness adjustment just made the coins near the top (nearest the light source) WAY too bright and the ones at the bottom too dark. contrast just made them either too milky-bland or dark.
