I thought I'd post a pic of a cool IHC variety that often gets overlooked. This is the 1887 DDO (Snow-1), and I've found a few on eBay and in dealer's "bargain bins".
The serif separation on the E and C in AMERICA are pretty dramatic. Happy hunting!

LOVELY! sometimes I wonder why I click on your posts because the green eyed monster bites me every time!


If you want to give up the admiration of many men for the criticism of one... go ahead, get married.

Dick,
Thanks! I actually shot this hand-held with my cheapo Canon Powershot (SD790IS)

kurt, I was not surprided. it means a lot, to know the equipment, "cheapo", or otherwise. I woi=uld bet, and give odds, that you "programmed the settings, so among other things, the white balance was covered, properly. my A590 IS had 4.0 optical power, and 8 MOP, but a very inexpwerienced operator. I use "Auto". It gets the large shots very well, but don't consider "shooting" a coin. Or at least niot wiothout includui=ing the 'scope, as well.

Dick,
This is a 10 megapixel camera, and I use max resolution and get as close as I can.
The original size of the cropped image above is 1900 x 1000 pixels.

Kurt, I suspected that would be your answer. I have been using small sized images. My canera is 10 MP, and has 4X optical. I'll" go big", and see what comes out. Thanks for the info.
