Well I ended up having some free time tonight so I thought I'd take a few pictures of some error coins I've been finding, but can't seem to get any pictures that I'm satisfied with.
Any ever get camera block while taking pictures? :l

Re: 1959D Interesting spot in date
I'm not sure of die state. I snapped a full pic of front and back quite before I have to take off for work. I hope they help with something. http://i920.photobucket.com/albums/ad47/Nolifeking19/DSCN0105_zpsc0b69ff9.jpg http://i920.photobucket.com/albums/ad47/Nolifeking19/DSCN0106_zps01023766.jpg

1959D Interesting spot in date
I almost immediately wrote this off as strike doubling, but I wanted to get a second opinion. In hand it appears to be very shelf like unlike strike doubling. No other elements seem to exhibit this doubling. I'd love to hear any opinions or thoughts on this one guys. http://i920.photobucket.com/albu...

Re: New macro shot setup
Well I can't say I've found a coin that I care that much about wear. I don't really search BU coins, but I do use a small piece of a cereal box to set the coin on the platform and then it allows me to move it around easily.

Re: New macro shot setup
I just took a look at coppercoins.com and the 1972 I've been photographing for this is a 1DO-007. The giveaway is the doubling in trust as well as a couple of the die markers being present.

New macro shot setup
I spent the afternoon working on a new setup for taking macro shots of coins. What do you guys think? I have an external light source with a dimmer switch, but not hooked up. It's going to need some more tweaking and I think I can get along better with out it. http://i920.photobucket.com/albums/ad47...

Re: 1969D No FG question
I have one that has some potential, but I'm thinking it might just be a greased filled strike. If all the details are sharp and still no fg is that a good sign for the real deal?
Was this error from a overpolished die, or grease filled or were the initials completely left off the die somehow?

1969D No FG question
Hi guys I just picked up a cherrypickers guide finally. It has some neat varieties and one that I've never looked for is the 1969D no FG. I was just curious if anybody knows how rare these are or how strong the collectors market is for them?

Re: Possible 2nd 1972 DD this week
I think I see a slight version of the die mark on your coin. Just remember these have die stages and states, so they might not look exactly like the pictures. Your coin could be EDS (early die state) and Stage A,B,C or LDS (Late Die State) and a certain stage. The MDS is medium die state so they al...

Any chance of this being an acid dipped coin? I know we've have similar coins come up on this forum and that was the verdict on those. RHM22 I believe chimed in on that verdict Daniel.

Re: Now i'm really hooked. 1972 double date this morning
The angles make it tough but I'd say this is strike doubling and not a doubled die. Strike double is very common on coins and doesnt add any value to the coin.
