Looks like a keeper to me. Although, I must admit I'm partial to IHC.

Sorry no new pics. Coin photography eludes me to this day. I'm still trying though.

. Take Care, jws

Had a thought to present a 19th century copper/bronze sequence. Not a bad thought, but I don't like most of the photos, their organization or size (compression), and cropping quality. There are also a couple of large cents and the FE missing from the set. Other than that, this looks great!

Here's a newer image of an older coin, NGC 66*RB

How can you get a better focused pic with a digital camera that is automatic??

Lee- AT or NT?

66RB · March 28, 2008 7:48AM

lcoopie, I think your Lincoln there is NT. Looks like it came right out of a mint set. Besides, if somebody AT'd it why not take those swipes off as well, or cover 'em up with more color!

Wow! Lots of really nice coins being posted here today.

Here's my lastest copper addition - just couldn't resist it. PCGS G06, Plain Edge

BTW, I could never take photos this good myself. The photography credit goes to eyeappealing coins.com

RedneckHB · March 28, 2008 11:18AM

I have a copy stand,
I think the camera focuses on the plastic?
You have great pics
and you are right of course, NT, I think

great posts everyone

1909 VDB PCGS MS67RD (handled with care for 99 years.....ach what a life!) BTW at times I wonder how there can be THREE grades yet to go above this coin?!?

Very Sweet!!

Crusty copper came in this week

rgCoinGuy · March 29, 2008 5:06AM

This is from my Memorial Dansco, it may have to go in the next modern submission to see what PCGS has to say about it.

OneCent · March 29, 2008 5:51AM

This newp came in the mail this am. My first mint state mintmarked Lincoln prior to 1920. In an OGH and the slab is significantly scratched so getting a real nice pic is all but an impossiblity. Not sure about the originality of this one...PCGS says that it is, so it must be

PCGS64RB OGH

rgCoinGuy · March 29, 2008 6:05AM

How about a steel copper

with some faint blue toning....

MPLunatic · March 29, 2008 6:13AM

66RB · March 29, 2008 6:16AM

Very nice 19-D Pete! If I may offer my ever so humble opinion

, I like your coin just fine as far as originality. The crazy bright neon ones tend to give me pause though........in the earlier dates.

LeeG · March 29, 2008 7:34AM

<< This newp came in the mail this am. My first mint state mintmarked Lincoln prior to 1920. >>

Looks all good to me!!!!!

My lucky day too:

ambro- what kind of camera do you use?, there is some great detail in the surface.

ambro51 · March 29, 2008 9:08AM

its a kodak z712 IS On a copy stand about 28 inches up, with two qdjustable side lights.

A low priced camera with 7.1 megapixels and lots of optical and digital zoom. I like it.
