Grid of Ikes

I just completed a Dansco album of Ikes. In celebration, I took pictures and gridded them out for your viewing pleasure...32 coins in all

Mostly from uncirculated mint sets and proof sets.

Identical lighting and image processing on every photo.

Very nice

Mesquite · July 25, 2008 1:23PM

That 74-S really stands out.

Broadstruck · July 25, 2008 1:25PM

Next you need to photoshop 32 different hats or hairstyles... cause that's a lot a glare!

Bochiman · July 25, 2008 1:32PM

Ok, dip the '72-s and send me the 3rd (silver) '74-s

SkyMan · July 25, 2008 1:40PM

Nice looking group of coins!

I particularly like the '71-S and the '74-S.

What, no reverse shots?

Now it's time to start the upgrade process.

I'm two nickels away from a complete album of Jefferson Nickels, most of them nice lustery MS with an original tone, but some different ones here and there to mix it up.

That is going to be quite a task to photograph, process and grid out! Lots o' nickels. I hope I don't complete the Lincoln set!

Now that you are so close you might as well start imaging before the last two come.

The 74-S BS is simply awesome

USMC_6115 · July 25, 2008 4:44PM

Nice set of IKEs...especially the 72P

Lee,

As you know, I like Ike's too! But I'm stumped. What does "BS"

mean in the "74-S BS" response above?

It means business strike.

Adam,
Congragulations on completing your Ike Dansco, anytime you complete an album it is a great accomplishment.
Robert.

Heres a big picture of that colorful 74S proof:

By 1974 "BS", do you mean the really frosty one in the middle?

These were fun to collect; it took very little time. Readily available. Surprises await! I like Ike!

Common Adam, that is still dinky, my screen is 1920 pixels wide.

adamlaneus · July 26, 2008 4:50AM

Here's a large cropped image, but not resized; these pixels are the resolution i'm getting off of the sensor.

As you can see, the full Ike would be huge.

I should print this out and see what it looks like on a 13x13 inch piece of photo paper.

Very nice and congrat's..... I only have a few IKE's

Sunglasses ON!

Please keep eye protection on while viewing. Thank you!

Does ricko like bright Ikes?

adamlaneus · July 26, 2008 5:16AM

The best frosting i've got on a proof:

And a little hair too!

BECOKA · July 26, 2008 6:51AM

Very nice.

if you want to try something cool with the frosted proof. Try pointing your light source at the ceiling and do a long shutter. You really get to see the detail of the metal and still get the black fields.

Here some examples from when I was taking quick experimental shots of SKYMAN's coins:

These were in dinged up slabs, much easier RAW or with nice polished slabs.

I met Ike at his Gettysburg farm when I was a Cub Scout. Yeah, I'm old.

ricko · July 26, 2008 8:13AM

Ike-Mania.... nice set... well done. Cheers, RickO

garsmith · July 26, 2008 8:15AM

I like the toning on your 74 and the frost on your proof bicentennial is awesome
