Looks like a strong 65 red!

Betta285 · April 29, 2004 10:33AM

I found my eyes looking for the "s" too........if it could only happen...

krazyace5 · April 29, 2004 3:39PM

Is that a die crack on the right side of the reverse?

coinbuf · April 29, 2004 3:41PM

Very nice coin; looks 66 to me.

Die break? Or planchet flaw?

Great pictures. I love mgoodm3's '09 VDB.

mgoodm3 · April 30, 2004 3:12AM

<< <i>mgoodm3, what type of light are you using in your pic? >>

I am using very simple lighting for those pics. I have found that darker lustrous coins such as copper look good with plain old direct light from a couple lamps. The are at about 12 O'clock and at about 30 degrees from flat. I don't like this kind of light with silver or gold. the reverse on that cent is particularly photogenic.

Theop · April 30, 2004 3:29AM

Thanks.

Your photos show the details better than the ones of my 09 VDB, and I think it is because I am getting so much reflection off the luster.
My technique was 2 40W Reveal bulbs, positioned at 3 and 9 o'clock. Mine howerver were probably at 45-60 above the horizontal, which proabably accounts for the increased reflection.

The 30 angle is what I usually use for proofs, but I will give it a try for this cent and see how it goes.

I love this board.

mgoodm3 · April 30, 2004 3:34AM

If your getting too much light, pull the lights away a bit farther until it looks better, or use only one. I have also decided the light from one direction only is better for showing details (I like 12 O'CLock)

coinlieutenant · April 30, 2004 3:35AM

And we love you Dave...

Heres my two cents worth

RKKay · April 30, 2004 3:43AM

That's MY two cents worth!

ccrdragon · April 30, 2004 3:44AM

Gotta spice this up with some 'GASP' darkside 'GASP' stuff!!!! :

(just my 2 cents worth

)

boiler78 · April 30, 2004 3:51AM

Looka pretty good doesn't it Rick? I really think you should own it!

Don't worry it has your name on it!

RKKay · April 30, 2004 3:53AM

Well if you defaced it with my name, I don't want it now.

coinlieutenant · April 30, 2004 3:59AM

That is a pretty cool darksider coin....

WWW · April 30, 2004 4:41AM

ccrdragon · April 30, 2004 4:43AM

Thanks - it's actually two different coins (with the same date). The top coin is actually purple/blue across the entire reverse, while the second coin has only toned on the sails and the ship (making look like the ship has been hilited on the coin).

They are both South African Proof 1D's (pennies or cents

)

cosmicdebris · April 30, 2004 5:02AM

Nice Two cents Mark! If Rick don't want it send it to me
