just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 02/27/2019 07:44 am Did you mean Wheat Back Cent collection? I think the Lincoln Memorial cent is from 1959 to present. Report this Post to the Staff

Whoops. Thank you. Edited the title. Quote: What is your pic taking set up? Embarrassed to say....It's my iPhone, a piece of printer paper under the coin and a second piece of paper to diffuse the light from a lamp. Pretty low tech. It does a decent enough job for my Lincoln Cent counterstamps, but when I do a plain coin it just doesn't cut it.

chafemasterj Pillar of the Community United States 6514 Posts	Posted 02/27/2019 08:54 am It does look like a 21 but in hand it's 31. Again...back to my photo taking skills. Check out my counterstamped Lincoln Cent collection: http://goccf.com/t/303507 Report this Post to the Staff

GrapeCollects Pillar of the Community United States 8938 Posts	Posted 02/27/2019 09:13 am The photos are quite dark, I hope you don't mind I lit them up. Did you upload the wrong photo? That's a 2. Edited by GrapeCollects 02/27/2019 09:14 am Report this Post to the Staff

I take all of my photos with my Galaxy S5, it works pretty well if I can get the right lighting conditions. As for the coin, I'm in consensus that the coin in the picture is a 1921S also. It may be just the pictures, but could the bottom part of the two been purposely pushed over and reshaped to look like a three? Report this Post to the Staff
