I wanted to comment on your photography in case you're looking for some help.

Try lowering the resolution on your camera. It will help with the resize of your pictures. Using a 6MP camera and PaintShop Pro I can get just under 100k. I adjust pics to somewhere around 780x780. Here's an example (notice the size):

Try to NEVER manipulate your images except to resize. Tweeking with software is cheating IMO. You need to get the best look naturally using light angles/position and camera distance. Personally, I freehand shoot from an almost constant position, but I move my light around a lot to bring out the coin. My setup is VERY simple and cheap. Just add a piece of copy paper.

Lowering the resolution, I ought to try that. I had it way up on my camera. I'll take a few photos of other nice wheaties and post them later today. Funny story, I bought an old dansco album online for cheap, mostly because I needed #8100 (the proofs version), and it came in with several beautiful uncirculated cents. The rarest being the 1931-s. So major luck on that purchase. I'll post some of the others later today!

Nice Lincolns! I really like the 31-D!

Pics are looking good, you're getting it down. All of them are good enough for web/grading purposes. CONGRATS!
