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

Nolifeking

Great find Daniel :thumbsup:

Nolifeking

Nice find! You have just been hitting it out the park with these older wheat DD's.

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

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...

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.

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.

Well a made a much needed addition to my camera stand. I know have a movable coin platform which allows me to focus the picture with a lot more precision. I think I'm in love with this thing! Now all I have to do is clip on my loupe and screw the camera on and it's ready to go anytime I want to take...

Very nice find! When you posted the 1DO-002 it made me remember that I had found a DDO for 1939 and mine ended up being the 1DO-001. So seeing the pictures just last night your's looks spot on :thumbsup:

It's a smaller sized alligator clip with a piece of threaded rod pushed into the end and then I bent the other end into a 'U' so the wings nuts can hold it.

Nolife you are a genius. I bought one of those cheap camera scopes. It works if you can control distance well. I am trying to use your idea with that little scope by anchoring much like you did. I hope you do not mind if I try to copy your arrangement. I am using your picture for guidance.Your imag...

Very nice lam!

Nolifeking

Thanks guys. I ended up spending about $30, but that included a 2 sockets and a wired in dimmer. For all the pictures you see I actually am using the light source I bought with one bulb taken out. I can just move the one bulb around and hold it. I can use the dimmer for more or less light. I also to...

Well I played with it until my camera was just about dead (it's recharging now) and I got some great pictures IMO. I can't wait to try this out with my better digital camera. The one I'm using is a 8.2 megapixel fugi. I think I have a 12 or 16 megapixel camera that I can try lol: To answer your ques...

Nolifeking

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...

Nolifeking

I'll have to take a look tomorrow and try to gets some pictures.

Nolifeking

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?

Nolifeking

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?

Nolifeking

Very nice find! :winnah:

Nolifeking

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...

I have found a few proofs over the years in pocket change and as a cashier even. I know some shops don't care to deal with them especially if they are newer proofs. So low resell on them might make owners less worried about spending them :dunno

Nolifeking

A good article. I haven't discussed much for plans with my family except the occasional joke. Mostly I tell them "Good Luck" for when that time comes. I think this dilemma has gotta better with better access to information about coins. Sometimes the simplest approach is just to advice fami...

I used to have a lot of fun looking at 2009's for double dies. Maybe I'm going to have to look at some again. Thanks for the post :thumbsup:

Nolifeking

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.

Great point! One has to be very careful of these type of accounts.

Looks like a contact mark to me :dunno

Nolifeking

Thanks again for the contest Daniel :thumbsup:

Nolifeking

Looks like a metal detected coin to me. After being in the ground a few years they come up like this. I'm plenty guilty of cashing in quite a few like this.

Nolifeking

:trophy: Very nice coin

Nolifeking

Very nice coin mhonzell!

Nolifeking

Count me in Daniel and thanks for the contest. No matter if I win or lose I should really pick these books up. I've been meaning to but somehow always get sidetracked. :l

Nolifeking

Very nice find!!! Making think I need to start looking at some of my wheats. :thumbsup:

Nolifeking

Thanks for all your replies. Just curious, what does one do with all their strike doubles? Keep them, perhaps in 10 years may be a collectible item? Throw them in the worthless pile? I personally only keep a couple just for reference. I usually keep the more dramatic examples off to the side. If yo...

Nolifeking

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.

Nolifeking

Very good explanation and I learned something new!!!

Maybe we need to bring the hobo nickel carving contest back Daniel. For those of you who were around a few years back Daniel had a contest where we all carved hobo nickels for a contest. A lot of fun! I gave mine to my best friend when it was done and he loved it. Great examples of buffalo nickels p...

Always nice to get wheats for face value. :winnah: I saw an indian head penny in one of those containers once but I just left it there. Too awkward of a situation for me. With my luck I'd make the swap and and cashier would give me grief about doing it. :l I used to swap copper pennies out for zinc ...
