grospoisson Pillar of the Community United States 984 Posts	Posted 01/02/2022 3:37 pm Cherry red but coin scope can't give that color. Again, PCGS says 475$ so maybe 175$ if high grade. Does it have a shot? Edited by grospoisson 01/02/2022 3:39 pm Report this Post to the Staff

I recommend a more indirect light source, off to the side with a piece of white paper over it perhaps. You'll find it is easier to look for varieties as well. Report this Post to the Staff

Quote: glare from lighting too much. when you get over 66 it comes down to the minor marks, discolorations and surfaces which could be camouflaged here Thanks KY. I have turned off led lights completely and am using pinpoint lighting to show coin. That's one of the tips I got to help with glare. Thanks pandalzi, I agree about the camouflaged part, I am learning quickly how pictures can hide things. In my defense, it's 3 weeks with coin scope. I have yet to master the correct color. Trying to grade these coins , you guys have really opened my eyes to things to look for. It would be counterproductive of me to try to deceive my fellow forum members who are only trying to help. I wouldn't press so much if I had plenty years to learn. Jokingly as a 80's rock band says I want all and I want it now. You cannot get blood from a turnip I have been told numerous times. Thanks for helping Edited by grospoisson 01/03/2022 10:28 am Report this Post to the Staff
BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19943 Posts	Posted 01/03/2022 12:28 pm Personally, I don't care for diffused lighting. Even when well done, it hides the all important cartwheel spokes I use as clues about the luster. In this picture, note the reflective, cartwheel spoke areas that show luster. Lincoln Cent Lover!
