WheatBack Pillar of the Community United States 2850 Posts	Posted 09/08/2016 11:07 pm I use a fluorescent desk lamp with paper taped over it to diffuse the light plus two handheld LED lights to take my photos. These are done with my phone's camera. I consider NT a process of many, many years. Depending on the tone, you can usually tell if it's long term or a quick job. Report this Post to the Staff
Centsei Valued Member United States 314 Posts	Posted 09/09/2016 12:53 am I love Lincolns from about '09 to '15 that turn that cool purple black color that still lets a little bit of red through. Does anyone know how a coin gets to be that way? Like this one or like the 1910 a couple of posts up. Edited by Centsei 09/09/2016 12:55 am Report this Post to the Staff

Centsei Valued Member United States 314 Posts	Posted 09/09/2016 1:03 pm Thanks, BadThad. That answer is pleasingly mysterious. A side note is that while people generally expect, and deserve, a premium for nice toning, the grading services usually call them BN, meaning that with enough careful searching one can find a coin that just in terms of attractiveness gives good value per dollar paid. One reason I love the humble Lincoln is that it can evolve so many ways. Many turn into little works of art. (Of course silver coins can, as well, no doubt.) Report this Post to the Staff
