So I am going to do this for coins that I have upgraded, that way I can reference back to what I original had and what I really wanted. All members are welcome to do the same, post away here, just do a before and after pictures. First is this 1925-S dime, before and after.      I took the same coin in different angle, there is very pale toning on it, but my Canon PowerShot added more color details than the eyes can. |

I took the liberty of editing your thread title for better focus. I will not make this a sticky, but will encourage the membership to follow in your footsteps with their own posts, and maybe as a result give this thread some long-term life.
The new '25 is beautiful.

Good idea! Here's my upgrade for my 1924-S. I was actually happy with the old one, which is well struck with a perfect circulated cameo, but I fell in love with the new one when I saw it. Old:  New:  And here's the 1924-P I upgraded last week. Old:  New:  And here's the 1938 upgrade from Guess The Price: Old:  New:  |

Thanks Dave! English is not my strong point.
Captain,
Nice upgrades!
I will have to take pictures of my other coins I bought a few week back also, not as nice as the 25-S, but I will want to do this soon, as this maybe a good way to catalog what I have, and for insurance purpose also.

And another 1929 D upgrade. These last 2 purchases still isn't good qualities, so I will need to buy or trade something that meets my expectation.    |

Before picture is an MS-64 or better 1943-S Mercury dime with obverse toning that makes the coin hard to see unless it's in your hand. Taking a good picture of it was impossible.   After pictures are of the CH BU 1916 dime with fully split bands I replaced the aforementioned dime with in my 20th Century type set.    Anyone with a spare D mint mark just laying around you don't need? LOL |
