Here are some pictures that I took after following Russ' advice to use a white background (actually off-white). I don't want to slight anyone else that offered advice but i took the cheapest way out (Russ' advice). I also built a homemade light tent using a an old plastic milk gallon. The background is a self liner for the fridge. I figured I would keep the whole project as getto as possible.
Edited to add: I cropped and reduced the size of the pictures because they were over 4x's the size and I don't bother with picture hosting.
Not too shabby for a through the plastic picture, eh?

I've always liked your "Blue Lincoln" icon, too.

photos posted.
The NGC label is right, the incert color is right -- you nailed this 1941 Walker.
The background is wierd, but this NGC coin was imaged dead on.

Yeah, Russ is an El Cheapo

Wierd background but accurate color, I love it. That's a great new ANACS slab image.
......but how come the reverse of the cent is upside down.....!?!?!?..
un-doctored pics are always welcome
they are so good, it almost makes me question the grade NGC gave that walker.

I should have mentioned that the obverse and reverse photos are two different cents!

Got it from Superior for a great price ( I won't say how much) because they flubbed a $100 BIN. They had it listed for $250. They are a very nice group over there. They really went out of their way for me. The reverse is even nicer than the obverse. Do you think it could possibly upgrade?

That one looks like the obverse was scrubbed with a grill brush!

Yeah, I'm good for cheap advice.

It looks exactly the same in hand!

Sorry! I think I phrased that wrong.

Nah, you phrased it perfectly. I probably have the cheapest camera setup at the forums.

You have some competition, now. I'm using a fridge shelf liner (background) and an empty milk carton (light box).
