Changeless Valued Member 273 Posts	Posted 04/10/2011 10:33 am Thank you for bringing this coin to the forum. GREAT PHOTOS! Once or twice I thought I found a doubled ear, but it turned out to be a trick of light on a bright AU coin and I really didn't know what to look for. But it is even tougher on a worn or damaged coin. The ear area is one of the first spots on Lincoln to be obliterated by wear. When I first saw your images I thought it was an example of one of those "hand made Y2K dies" (no such thing.... this is a joke on me... I took a lot of ribbing). If I may ask, what did you use to take the photos? Report this Post to the Staff

eric273 Valued Member United States 289 Posts	Posted 04/10/2011 11:16 pm I used a Canon Sx30 IS and used a small handheld flashlight over it. Then I cropped it... Then I use imageenhancer.com to cut it down to 90 kb. Expect better photos later I just ordered a macro Lens Film (Its not a DSLR camera but its the closest thing to it that is reg. Digital. It was $399 Report this Post to the Staff
