TB, You are way, way too modest. I study everyone of your posts...... Your images are, by far, the best on the site! Your your coins are always OUTSTANDING! You've taught me many of the FINER points of common and rare coin collecting. Take away - what is valuable to you is valuable to me. Thank you.

 Thanks! Just trying to show some real errors and varieties (as well as a few counterfeits) to be helpful. Glad it is working! |

What! How about sharing you source for BU 1955's. A roll of those it seems would far surpass the value of "the big one.
You must gonna grade this one, no?

Well it certainly wasn't a whole roll of these, but yes, the coin has already been sent off to PCGS.

Real nice. That AM scope with iphone is what I've been using. I agree with you about the camera that came with it. What light setup are you using? |

Ah, light! It is everything isn't it. Well the bulb I just love for the full coin shots is incandescent, and we all know those are on the way out. Last time I checked I could not find one anywhere, so very shortly I will once again start searching for a bulb that gets Lincoln cents right. I have one of those adjustable LED bulbs where you can vary the temperature, but unsure if that will be an answer or not. But can't currently help with that end of things as my current set up is now obsolete.
For the scope lighting I just use a BHD-12V-15W projector bulb. My scope light can be tilted and dimmed, which does much of what is needed, but when I need a filter I usually just curtain a white napkin or paper towel in front of the light. The very best pics I've seen come if I wrap the whole thing in a great gob of tissue paper, but am too afraid the whole thing will catch on fire to do that for more than a minute or so.

Thanks TB.
That sounds about like what I use. The dimmable bulbs seem to work but sometimes the light has a wave of dim then bright. Just faint but you can see it when taking the shot.
Yes you need to watch out for the filter getting to hot around the scope light. I had a few that got a little close to long and got singed.
