rmpsrpms Pillar of the Community United States 4038 Posts	Posted 09/11/2011 7:33 pm I finally took pictures of 22 Lincoln Cent varieties that have been laying around needing to be attributed.

rmpsrpms Pillar of the Community United States 4038 Posts	Posted 09/11/2011 10:25 pm Thanks! These were taken with a B&L MonoZoom7 with a Tucsen 3MP C-Mount camera. All the coins were in 2x2's so you can see some dust and some odd optical effects due to the mylar on some of the shots. The higher mag shots are blurrier than I'd like them to be, but I only had time today to take single (compromise) shots. If I had more time I would have taken two or three shots of each and stacked them. The depth of field is pretty shallow at high magnification.

CCTrader Valued Member United States 54 Posts	Posted 09/13/2011 06:16 am Man that is very very ultra cool. Have you taken photos of coins for long? I think these are fairly common. I have a large number of them I searched out from 75lbs of LWC my dad gave me. Thanks for sharing those are great pics. Report this Post to the Staff
rmpsrpms Pillar of the Community United States 4038 Posts	Posted 09/13/2011 2:53 pm Yes, most of these are more minor varieties which are fairly common. The three I like best are the 46S, 53S, and 52D that all are more major RPMs that I can't find a reference for. I have been taking photos of coins for a long time, though only recently I've picked up the bug again and pulled out some new (actually old, but new to me) equipment to play with. Sometimes I get into a rut and end up working more on the equipment than the coins, so I decided to document this group of Varieties for comments...

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/13/2011 6:18 pm I didn't see any matches as well. You might post over in coppercoins.com and see if they would like to list any of these. On the 1952-D Cents there was a problem with the mint mark punch that left the doubled/triple or more doubling on the lower serif. So they maybe D/D more than they are D/D/D because the damaged punch problem. Report this Post to the Staff
rmpsrpms Pillar of the Community United States 4038 Posts	Posted 09/13/2011 6:43 pm Coop...thanks for checking! I was pretty sure none of these showed up anywhere. That's either because they were deemed too minor or perhaps they are new discoveries. I posted this group on the CONECA varieties forum and am waiting for an answer there. I actually (silly me) didn't know there was a discussion forum on coppercoins site, but I see it now and will post this group over there. Thanks for pointing me that way...Ray Contact me for photographic equipment or visit my home page at: http://macrocoins.com Report this Post to the Staff
coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 09/15/2011 01:04 am It's very late at night and I'm about to hit the sack. I just don't have the time or energy right now to go through the list. I do see a number of them that look familiar though. I don't think the 1956D is anything more than a couple of well placed die gouges. All the rest appear to be RPMs for sure. Report this Post to the Staff
rmpsrpms Pillar of the Community United States 4038 Posts	Posted 09/18/2011 12:28 pm I scoured coppercoins website again and identified the 1946-S/S as RPM #30. Not sure why I missed it before, the markers are all there! It's much earlier die state than the coin pictured on the website but the markers match.
