1949-S Lincoln Cent DDO

rmpsrpms · October 26, 2013 3:34AM

Here's a 1949-S Lincoln Cent DDO#3 presented with a couple of techniques.

Unprocessed image using 5x magnification, 25-stack of images:

Unprocessed image using 10x magnification, 36-stack of images:

3D processed 10x image but looking straight on to compare with unprocessed:

3D processed 10x image looking at 45-deg from 9:00:

3D processed 10x image looking at 45-deg from 2:00

I think this technique is useful to help visualize these kind of variety details in a similar way to viewing then with a microscope, at least the way I view them. I'm not so sure the 3D versions of these is all that useful, but some may like them. I find them kind of gimmicky, and while they can be sort of cool they don't offer any more information than the 2-D perspective views above. If you disagree, let me know. It's not too hard to include 3D versions of these.

Gotta love modern technology

We've come a long way from tin-types

Like the technology. Great photos... please explain more about the process/software/camera/lens.

Can you do the MM or another coin maybe with split serifs to vow?

I do enjoy the images but I can't get too excited about that variety.

<< Like the technology. Great photos... please explain more about the process/software/camera/lens. >>

The process is the same as focus stacking, ie taking a series of photos at different focus planes and then using software to create a composite image using only the in-focus parts. There are several software packages that will do this such as Zerene Stacker, Helicon Focus, and probably even Photoshop. The software creates a "depth map" as it moves through the stack of images, so it knows the relative depth of the in-focus parts it includes in the final image, and can then use this depth map to create variable-angle perspective representations of the image. I used my Canon T2i for these shots, with a Nikon 10x microscope objective.

Take a look here.

Hmm, a Small Date over Large Date Doubled Die? I really love this variety, and it's quite rare.

Actually a 1948 over a 1949.

I've seen examples of both 1949-S date types.

I had a request to do a circulated RPM. Here's 1953-D RPM #1 in XF, stereo view:

Wish I had one to image! It's on my wish list...
