Bob has a really nice touch with color. It's not difficult to match his images for sharpness and clarity these days, but bringing out the color takes subtle skills. Of course, it helps to be providing him with fabulous coins like these to shoot.  |

Those are very nice photos, Bob certainly does take some mighty fine photos. On that note, I just got my Goldberg Missouri Cabinet Half Cent catalog, - I wonder who did the photos for it? They are hands down the finest coin photos I've ever seen! Anyone else seen the catalog yet? The online version doesn't do it justice. "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R.

I had to think about it a bit, but I figured out his lighting - not going to share it since it might be his "trade secret" - and frankly I'm rather surprised. The 1912-S is one of the best representations of luster on a Lincoln I've ever seen.

It's a cloud dome with adjusted light sources to get the right look and feel, IMO
I can see the washout coming in from the right hand side, ever so gently, but it's there

Well funny money NGC gave the 1911 a grade of MS62
Needless to say it is no longer in the holder.
I do not know how at least 3 persons agreed on the grade. The photos are accurate

Seems to me as a non-expert that the 1911 was downgraded on strike and a couple distracting marks (shoulder, cheek, bridge of nose). The E in "ONE" seems to have a deep gouge. Compare the hair and beard between it and the MS65 (easy to do with adjacent excellent photos). The wheat seems flat compared with the 1912. I am just trying to sharpen my grading skills so that's what I see could be factors in the NGC grade. Lovely coins regardless.

The 1911 is not the greatest strike I have seen, it is not bad either.
You have to remember these are large and detailed photos. The marks you see are barely noticable in hand.
As you view more coins and photos it will help to realize this.
A good way is to have some of your own coins professionaly photographed.
A coin you have looked at a million times will show something you never saw.
Dont compare it to the 12-S. This 12-s has a rare strike for the s mint. Better than many dates/mints known for strong strikes.
Hope this helps
Jim
