Whoa!! Very nice!!

Alice's Welcome To My Nightmare was a favorite LP of mine when I was a kid. And I still enjoy Only Women Bleed (haven't heard that one in a looonnnggggg time) but being a woman I've never much cared for the title.

Thanks Thingee

I think I went every Alice Cooper concert within 250 miles of my Home town !!

I would do it all over again if a I could !! Better go buy the CD Alice Cooper Classics !!

This Dime grades an easy 65 and probably closer to a 66,, but misses Full bands its close but not quite enough rounding to the bands.

Wow! Never been to any of his concerts. What's Alice doing these days?
Metalman, I have two pennies that I have been trying to photograph for a while now to show you. But I can't get what I want to show. One penny has a die scratch or break coming straight and upwards from his tie almost to the rim. I call it Abe's joke tie. The other looks like a big booger right below his nose. I thought about you immediately when I found them. (no pun intended!!) They are easily seen with no magnifier, but getting pics of them has been problematic. Hmm. Maybe I'll try using the scanner and see if that works.

I know the Frustration of trying to photograph some of these,, I have a Nickel right here in front of me that I have been trying to get a photo of for a few days now to show some doubling. I will eventually get the pic I'm after but it can take some time sometimes !!

On the occasional time when I can download a photo properly, my mom's scanner works just fine. I tend to use it more than I do a camera for coin photographs.

I dont have a flatbed scanner,, so I'm stuck with the digital !!

If the job holds out ,, I may get a QX or similar photographing microscope in the future !
