I'm not seeing anything beyond die fatigue. The ridge on the 9 is interesting however.

I agree the 9 is interesting but so is the five. The five has a notch on top too makes it look like doubling. It looks like part of the 9 broke off, but looks like there maybe something more to it. I don't know enough to comment on the other pics. PS Take a break and give your eyes a rest wrongalot.  Your coins ain't goin' nowhere.  Edited by thingee

Wrongalot, I am assuming that pics 1,2, and 3 ore of the same coin and that 4 and 5 are different coins, correct?
What I am seeing on the 7 and S is die erosion, the nine sort of looks like ejection doubling and I have no opinion on the 5.
I will be anxious to see what coppercoins thinks.

On coppercoins.com/ there are many DDO's for 1970 with all mints represented. Yours looks similar to http://coppercoins.com/lincoln/dies...ie_state=mdsBut you would need to see for sure which one it is for sure. Some are doubled above/below the 70 on different examples. The location of the doubling and mint mark location would need to be considered first. Lastly the markers on your coin to see which die state it is. Woth a second look in my opinion. |

The 7 has the extra bar above as in coppercoins pics, so that solves that one,
the 5 also has an extra bar where the arrow is pointing. The two 9's have notches
where the arrows are pointing, but I really only see minor thickness.
The coin dates are as follow:
1970-S
1968-S
1951-D
1951-D

I just wished I could get better pics. But still saving for that micro lens.

Wrongalot: before buying a microscope, get a few opinions from those who have bought them in the past. You don't need one with 100/1000 or higher power. A 10-30X is nice. A 20-40X is nice. But I use an infinite zoom. 7.5-35X. This way you can get the show in between the two settings and can even get a full coin image on the Dimes and Cents. Nickels are pushing it for a full shot and larger coin images I use my scanner. Takes a combination of images from both to get what you really want. Having Photo shop gives me the ability to not only size but add zest to your images. So ask for opinions on what type of scope to get as you will have varied ideas on scopes/cameras/lighting/editing programs. Sometimes it is best to have a scout that has been there before to see what mistakes they made that you can avoid.

 Well written. Wrongalot, there's a lot of helpful info in the coin photography thread. |

That is where I have learned about lighting etc. And the majority have agreed that for my camera, a Canon Rebel XT, a MICRO LENS for it would be beneficial to me.

Or just get a camera with the macro feature in it and take images through a scope. Works for me. Well, I taken thousands of images.
