In order to draw more interest in my error coins at the upcoming San Diego Show, I have decide to run an Error Coin Slideshow on my New iPad with Retina Display.
I decided to shoot all new images instead of drawing from old images to maintain a consistency. First round I did 100 images and it came out fantastic.
What is really cool is that I will be able to zoom in on say a clip and show customers that it is real because of metal flow.
I think I want to do 100 more as it came out so good.
A few images.

<< <i>Is there a reason why the Kennedy is not graded? >>
Because I have Hundreds of Raw coins that should be graded. That's like 5 K in grading fees. I could get a great error or errors for 5 K.

Point taken. It is just that I've watched this coin on eBay a few times and almost talked dad into jumping on it but "security of plastic" or "lack of" held him back.

Oh, it's real. This is exactly the coin I was talking about in the OP. I can enlarge the areas near the clips and see the metal flow.
<< <i>I think that's a good idea. Anything out of the ordinary should gain the attention of passers-by >>
Bingo
New technology plus many one of a kind errors ......
<< <i>It's a great idea. People will stop to observe and possibly ask questions about how some of these errors came to be. Even if some of the coins included in the sideshow happen to sell that day, you could still use them as examples of others of the same type from your inventory. Wonderful idea. Good luck. >>
Yes, anything to help draw up interest.
Here are some more cool errors that will be in my case ...

This entire thread is SPAM. Its one thing to elicit feedback on show advertising it is another to use the board to try and plant seeds of interest by posting over a Dozen coins from your active inventory while broadcasting that they are innovatory. Just another punk move of yours
What a sad and pathetic life he must have. Does PCGS have rules about Internet Stalkers?
................
Yeah right, I went out and bought a new Ipad, spent days Photographing and Organizing my coins, Created a really cool Slideshow all just to spam this board, LOL get a life dude.
You like to put down people and find negative things to say in most of the threads you respond to. That is no way to go through life, but it is your choice.
I think the OP is a brilliant idea and why not add cool photos to a bunch of bland text.
If the other forum members don't want me to post my cool error coins then so be it.
<< <i>If established dealers cant post their innovatory on the forum and invite people to check it out, wannabes shouldn't either. One day when you can afford it buy a banner. >>
WOW! Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning!
Talk about being a "wannabee", sounds like someone wants to be a "hall monitor".
If you are going to label something as “spam” can you show or point out where the OP has posted a picture of a coin and stated go here to buy it?
I guess every board has trolls
and beautiful photos also

really a giant video screen with video rolling . I thought it cant be all that expensive
and would be cool to use in other formats. Maybe you could looking into some
type of larger flat panel his-res display, because the Ipad, for all it;s merits, is
kind of small, and wont really get noticed at a big coin show.
As I mentioned earlier, at the touch of two fingers my clients or I could enlarge a photo instantly and it would look similar to this with no effort ...( see photo below)
I can point out the metal flow in the window close to the clip and how different they are from the windows on the right. The letter "E" also has nice metal flow.
Just as quickly I can go back to the slide show or any other coin in the file.
What a fantastic tool ......
The reason I ask is that I have a 1915-S Lincoln cent that has one scratch that resembles what is going on with the nickel. Granted the nickel is almost destroyed by the process, but I was wondering if the cent's injury could be mint made?

before striking planchet, but I'd like
to see a scan of the reverse of the piece.
The stuff on the right side of the reverse
of your Cent is damage.........
By the way, I decided to put some good
scans of certain errors that I recently
bought that won't fit into holders on my
I-Pad too - just for the 'show and tell'
aspect of it....
My collector and dealer buddies in Chicago
(Central States), Denver (ANA), and Long
Beach thought they looked great too!
We had the same idea at about the same time.
Anyone who wants to see my Ipad Error Scans
can come by my table in Philadelphia the first
week of August..........

This seems like a wonderful tool for error coin dealers especially.
I have the San Diego Show Coinarama next weekend so I am jamming to get more images done. I have another 100 so I should have over 200 images for viewing or as a slideshow.
This should be very interesting as many of the old timers walk right by my "defective coins" now and I wonder how many of them will watch the whole slideshow and ask question thus creating interest.
Here are a few more images ....
<< <i>Nice setup. I'm looking forward to this show. I'll stop by your table and check it out
Thank you, do come by and say hi and play with the iPad.
It will be interesting to see how many people watch the whole 10 minute show.
I wonder how many will want to stop the show to zoom in on a single coin and ask more questions.
If you are in San Diego this weekend come by and see me at Coinarama table #57
See http://www.doubledimes.com for a free online reference for US twenty-cent pieces
What a wonderful tool to help educate people about error coins and how true errors can't be faked.
I also showed many the difference between a true Double Die and Machine Doubling.
I can not even imagine doing another coin show (or art show ) without the wonderful iPad.
Great job, I think the effort was worth it.
