Fishing tackle and rare coins, what a combination! Imagine walking into the Marshall store in the 1860's. " I have a nice large cent to go with your gut leaders, sir. Would you like the leaders soaked?"

I grade this one AU, FS (Full Scales).

Tip o'the hat to Broadstruck.

edited for sharper photos

Love this one, and yours has nice color.

Thanks, I made the photos with axial lighting which brings out the most color and detail. I replaced the original photos with sharper ones I just made. Tough to focus with these ol'eyes sometimes.

Here is an animation of the BIE die break progression on 1955-S Lincoln Cent RPM#4 / Cohen BIE BA143-B650. I used RPM#4 Stages A, C, E, J, and K. RPM#4 Stage J = Cohen BIE BA143, while RPM#4 Stage K = Cohen BIE B650. The B650 is tough to find, and Cohen gave it a nickame...the "Sausage BIE". Enjoy!

rmpsrpms...that is one of the coolest things I've seen. Thanks for sharing that. How many variations are included in that animation?

That animation has 5 stages from Stage A (EDS) to Stage K (VLDS). There are more than 5 images, with overlays between the Stages, in order to make the progression change "smoothly".

I don't like to pick out individual coins on here because as usual there is lots of great copper here, but............. I'm not usually much of a fan of uneven or mottled toning but that 1820 cent is spectacular! I think it is hypnotizing me.

I hate being the thread killer. Someone step up and post something!

Here's an animation of the die breaks on the date of 1955-S RPM#2 Lincoln Cent:

Besides the breaks themselves, an interesting thing the animation shows is the gradual STRENGTHENING of the RPM, especially on the upper curve. This is characteristic of a few RPMs which get more apparent in later die states.

I look forward to this thread every week Broadstruck. Great looking coins always show up. This week is no different.

Great gifs rmpsrpms!

I love the color on that 1909 VDB. Here's another one with less red but a lot more green:

Thanks! I've already talked to Bob about it. In the meantime I've been getting better with my phone camera but I obviously stink at judging the image sizes for forum purposes.
