Latest additions to my US Type Set. Photo Comparison with Teletrade. 1/2C, 2C, 25C Standing Liberty

BECOKA

It is coming along slowly. I just added 3 coins to my type set and this brings it to about 20% completion. I will add real photos when they arrive. (Attempted photos added)

This is a PCGS MS66 ----- sorry not quite FH


Here are my pics this is my first Standing Liberty and I found it very difficult to image. I will need some more practice.


This is an ANACS MS65RB


Here are my pics. My first copper pics and my first pics in an ANACS holder. This holder is tough as you get a lot of glare and it is hard to adjust for it.



This is an ANACS MS63BN


Here are my pics. My second copper pic and my second in an ANACS holder. Still tough to fight off glare.


I will send the ANACS in for crossover and hope for the best.

I saw a couple of guesses at AU58 on the half cent, what was the reasoning?

Thanks.

I'm guessing the dark area on the cheek which looks like it might be rub in the image. But really, it's often hard to make that AU-58/MS-63 call unless you have the coin in hand and examine the luster to see if it's unbroken.

BECOKA

TTT, just updated photos today. I thought I would be able to get better pics than teletrade but it looks like they used a scanner based on the image comparison so now it is a comparison between a scanner and my tiny little sony camera.

Once you crack them out the problem with glare is eliminated

I plan that for the two ANACS coins. Maybe I will repost the images once cracked out. Hopefully I will have some time to figure out the best way to crack ANACS holders. I have no problem with NGC but I have never tried ANACS.

Is this a Dansco 7070 type set? The difference in ease of photographing between slabbed and raw is like night and day.

BECOKA

Nope, I just like everything in one slab so they will go off to PCGS. I have to use up some of my freebies before they expire. The end of last year was excellent for getting freebies.

Very nice additions!! Congrat's

Bump for the evening crowd.

Great group of coins ... the SLQ is one of my all time favorite coins...I have a modest collection myself.

The 1930 is one of the toughest dates to find with a fully struck shield...I know, I've been looking for years. You have a nice example for a type coin without breaking the bank. Your example, although not a FH, has great inner shield vertical lines...some of the best I've seen on a 1930-P. The outer shield bosses are typically what you'll find, very weakly struck or nonexistant.

I also liked the 2 Center, very nice; I love the Half Cent coin...great design and a classic. Who cares if its an AU 58 - although its very hard to tell the difference between an AU 58 & MS 62-63 from images - its a real beauty.

It will be interesting to see what PCGS thinks of the 1/2 cent. ANACS says MS63 and several people including yourself are guessing AU58. As you said AU58-MS63 are all so similar so for a type set it fits well.
