Yes! That'd be awesome, exactly what I was thinking.

Thank you coppercoins! I have spent some time reading all your posts (always do when I come across them) and feel like I have been to a seminar! I have learned so much from your to the point explanations. Even if I don't understand your explanation at first, when I am able to figure it out I have that 'aha' moment and feel a little ashamed that I couldn't figure out your excellent descriptions in the first place.
p.s. - BadThad, you're in the boat too, so to speak. Thank you both!

All I know is that I would buy the book. The date breakdown and mints are exactly what is needed. Adding an overview of effect from die wear, weak die strike and true wear would be nothing but a bonus. I am amazed how many people do not understand the indicators of die wear and then throw in high vs low relief and most are lost. Thx so much for even considering it, Chuck, and then involving us here. JIm

Yeah...hmm...the book. I never really though about including all this as a chapter in my upcoming book. Heck, that's a great idea! LOL! All I was thinking about here was my website.
Sometimes the obvious has to hit us for us to see it.

Lincoln cents are a TOUGH area to grade too given the colossal number of dates, mints, and die varieties as well as all the ways that copper can be toned naturally and not. I definitely respect anyone who can reach expert level in this area.

Quote: I was thinking about here was my website. I just spent an hour on your website. You have a ton of very nice circulated coins on your website priced right! I am not plugging your website however I believe in giving credit where it is due. For any Lincoln Lover reading this, check out his website, the shear volume alone, more than attests to his expertise! If for no other reason, his photographed examples would serve to help with grading circulated Lincolns. I actually feel guilty that I didn't buy anything especially after studying all the DDO's & RPM's . Seriously, I have looked at a bazillion copper cent sites over the last year. If there is one better, I want to know about it.

I do appreciate the plug - seriously...but... The website on which this grading tutorial would go is https://www.coppercoins.com - and there are no coins for sale on that site. The sales website is https://www.lincolncent.com - which is the site EyeEatWheaties is referencing. By the way, crafty name...I like it.

Quote: By the way, crafty name...I like it. Thanks! call me EEW for short, badthad came up with that. took me awhile to figure the acronym in his posts, it was too obvious. lol! Why not have grading info like that on both sites? you certainly need more referrers to your lincolncent site. it's not coming up in google the way it should given the domain name. How old is the website? I just typed "web info regarding lincolncent" and "web stats Lincolncent" your site is on page 2! took a few minutes but...... jeez man! get off the MB and learn the web a bit.. with that domain name something is wrong.  n

You're right, web marketing is not my strong suit - I'll be the first to admit that I have no clue how to get more traffic. If you would be willing to suggest some stuff I can do, please feel free to contact me. cd@coppercoins.com

You just need more backlinks from legit sites and you'll hit the first page. It may take a little but it will get there. If you follow the model you did with the coppercoins site you'll be fine. By the way, I was looking for some strike details for a teen lincoln the other day and looked in "The complete guide to Lincoln Cents" ( Red Book I beleive) and who would you think wrote the forward? Your everywhere these days.

So a site links page with link swapping? I guess I could do that. Is that what you mean?

That helps but I found it better to get your links on sites well rated by the search engines (legit sites like this one) and related to your topic. Lincoln Cents is a pretty broad topic and it will take some time to get top 5-10 on that one. Everytime someone references your site on another site the "crawler" that the search engines use will pick it up. This is a big part of the way pages get ranked. I have found that putting links in your signature works well. Everytime you post you plug your site and get a link down. Link swapping sites work but the search engines know what they are and rate those links accordingly. Do a google search concerning backlinks and you will get some good info. I did a Blog for a college project a few years ago and got into the page rank thing, I ran 4 seperate blogs to the #1 rating in those topics using message boards, dig it and article posting sites. I picked more specific topics to make it easier but it can be done. There is certainly an advantage to being #1 when someone is searching for your topic.

Sorry, but if your using Compete and Alexa and sites like that to gauge websites you're the one that's got some learning to do. All those sites do is extrapolate wild guesses based on random toolbar (spyware basically) usage and the less than a quarter percent of sites that actually use their code. Oh, and they are easily manipulated.
