Did you mean Wheat Back Cent collection? I think the Lincoln Memorial cent is from 1959 to present.

Whoops. Thank you. Edited the title.

Embarrassed to say....It's my iPhone, a piece of printer paper under the coin and a second piece of paper to diffuse the light from a lamp. Pretty low tech. It does a decent enough job for my Lincoln Cent counterstamps, but when I do a plain coin it just doesn't cut it.

It does look like a 21 but in hand it's 31. Again...back to my photo taking skills.

The photos are quite dark, I hope you don't mind I lit them up. Did you upload the wrong photo? That's a 2.

I take all of my photos with my Galaxy S5, it works pretty well if I can get the right lighting conditions.

As for the coin, I'm in consensus that the coin in the picture is a 1921S also. It may be just the pictures, but could the bottom part of the two been purposely pushed over and reshaped to look like a three?
