Nice. My first PCGS Indian Princess...and my first copper (other than a few common Lincolns). I picked this up for my type set...nothing too rare but I can't put it down.

NY UTICA M-NY-1061 S.W. CHUBBUCK EX. JOHN J. FORD JR......MS65 RED






Its really cool to such red in a 165 year old token. Its also totally prooflike.

CCDollar, that's a great coin. My kind of thing -- probably not super expensive in the scheme of things, but a visually a real standout for the grade.

And Ironmanl63, that 1866 is just wonderful.

That is a good looking Large Cent BG...no doubt the Gold CAC is warranted!

NewEnglandRarities

1787 NJ Maris 55-m. Ex. F.C.C.Boyd, New Netherlands Coin Company, Jacob Spiro Collection.

This is the famous U over S variety, as clearly seen on the reverse in the second U of PLURIBUS. A fun variety that is very difficult to get in high grade with attractive surfaces. Ive always loved the "woodgrain" toning on this piece.

NewEnglandRarities

1859 Antiquary John Curtis Merchant Token. Miller NY-180.

A perfect design for us coin collectors. Made by Lovett for John Curtis. There are many mules, but this is the storecard version.

Ironman,
I owned that lovely half cent for a few years - here is my image below, a real gorgeous one that will be hard to find an equal of in this grade.

Just did an overlay of a 1944-S DDO with a normal Cent. The DDO shows as added thickness in the numbers. It is relatively minor but was in my "study pile" for several years so I decided to finally study it!

SH,



Very cool! I think I like your photos better than mine. I am just learning how to take quality photos. What did you use for a light source?

Digital SLR camera, copy stand, macro lens. Then whatever type of light you want to use. Buy Mark Goodman's book 'Numismatic Photography', this will get you alot of info from one of the very best coin photographers.
