just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 12/28/2007 11:46 am Naturally you just have to get Looking Through Lincoln Cents. There are two editions out and the same person has a web site full of photos of Lincoln Cents. It's https://www.coppercoins.com Lots and lots of photos of cents. The author states he has taken thousands of photos of cents. Check out that web site. Report this Post to the Staff
tights24 Pillar of the Community United States 2254 Posts	Posted 12/28/2007 12:41 pm Justcarl got it right! Looking through Lincoln Cents by our own coppercoins (Charles Daugherty), is the best book you will find, with an overwhelming amount of information. As for the second part of your question, If a scope or loupe is needed for attribution, I would surmise that the TPG's use them as well. I don't know that they would need a scope for grading though. I think Coppercoins did mention in another thread though that PCGS will only attribute the Lincoln's that are in the CherryPickers Guide. I would guess NGC and/or ANACS would do others.

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 12/31/2007 10:48 am I'm not sure if PCGS will attribute everything that appears in Cherrypickers. NGC will, but they often use the "well it looks pretty close to that." school of attribution. (DON'T trust any of their attributions of Shield nickel varieties. You MUST confirm them yourself.)

Metalman Pillar of the Community United States 7123 Posts	Posted 12/31/2007 11:44 am Its always a good Idea to pretty much have the attribution of known varieties and errors nailed down when you send the coin in for grading ,,what your paying for from the TPG is affirmation on a piece of paper inside the plastic with the coin . a collector should know what He has and not ely entirely on an opinion from the TPG.
