tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6108 Posts	Posted 09/01/2022 10:59 pm A lot of the RPMs for this date are pretty darn minor, but a couple are fairly strong. RPM-007 is certainly one of the better ones, and has been eluding me for years. Finally found one and happy it's in pretty decent shape and is a Stage A example. 1946-S/S Lincoln Wheat cent - RPM-007 Report this Post to the Staff

Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 09/01/2022 11:05 pm Wonderful coin in outstanding condition! I love the sharp separation of the top of the S and the slight tilt of the main mint mark. This one makes me want to search Wheat cents.

CentSeeker Valued Member United States 108 Posts	Posted 09/01/2022 11:06 pm OT but real quick: Your pics are always very good. May I ask for your camera specs? Or perhaps the megapixels, lighting set up, etc.? I am quite new at taking pics of coins. Report this Post to the Staff

tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6108 Posts	Posted 09/02/2022 12:08 am Thanks! Lots of great stuff sitting on my desk and not really time to take pics of most of it. Just filed a 1960-D RPM-001 and saw a 1956-D RPM that looks to be in a great die stage. Maybe do that one up at some point, but also a couple of the other strong 1960-D RPMs. Been finding and buying stuff all summer and just no way to get to it all quickly. Still three and a half tubes of stuff pulled from bags and rolls I marked "to be determined" so all those need attributes yet. As for photos, I really like the Canon S95 for full-coin images (about $50 on ebay). You just drop the coin on a post it note of the color of your choice and fix a light/lamp a little behind and about a foot high. Spin the coin to adjust the light angle or move the post it note a bit. It takes a while to find just the right bulb to get the light balance correct but once set up you can do whole coin shots at hi res in seconds. Oh yeah, I have a little clamp thing that sticks up to give a wrist support to avoid taking pictures while the camera is just waving around. Closs ups I usually cheat. I have a trinocular stereoscope ( AmScope) with a camera mounted on the third lens. But I find it much faster to just get the close up in clear focus and shoot an iphone pic through the eyepiece.

sheldius Pillar of the Community United States 1204 Posts	Posted 09/02/2022 2:29 pm Another great find TB. You need an assistant I think. LOL. Not sure how to justify the cost though, unless you put out a for profit book or website guide. Report this Post to the Staff
