dave700x Rest in Peace United States 10625 Posts	Posted 03/23/2017 09:55 am Thanks @Coinfrog. I picked up a new Kodak enlarging lens recently that Ray recommended on another site. I'm really liking it. Report this Post to the Staff

dave700x Rest in Peace United States 10625 Posts	Posted 03/24/2017 5:29 pm Have you studied this one @macmercury? The coin above is an exact match to the Wexler listing and the Cherry Pickers Guide. The Varity Vista listing appears to be a different die stage possibly? The die file lines on the lower bust are not in the V V photo. Edit to add - I grabbed a second example from the same seller in the same grade with the next sequential serial number. I thought that was pretty cool.

macmercury Pillar of the Community United States 5833 Posts	Posted 03/25/2017 4:12 pm @dave700x Not spending a lot of time lately, these eyes are getting tired looking at so many. I have been using my cheap microscope rather than my loops lately when I do find some interesting ones, which I lack self esteem to photograph them and catalog them properly. Plus working on the computer 10-12 hours in business days don't help either. All the ones I find I have questions on a few probably have the lesser known DDO or DDR, so I haven't really studied it. At present time I am actually concentrating more on my 7070, which I find it frustrating and enjoying it at the same time. Report this Post to the Staff
just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 03/25/2017 6:13 pm I would have just put that one in one of my Albums. And since not FSB, it would have gone into set #3 or $4. So many of those minor errors are popping up so much lately. I've got well over 4 thousand Mercs and no time to check them all for these errors. Report this Post to the Staff
