oih82w8 Pillar of the Community United States 7840 Posts	Posted 10/07/2011 09:28 am I appreciate the opportunity to share the coins of my 7070 collection with you! I chose this one for my birth year! I will post NGC's opinion over the weekend. I should have wiped down the slab before I took the pictures, white specks on cheek and jaw are on the outside Edited by oih82w8 10/07/2011 12:20 pm Report this Post to the Staff

oih82w8 Pillar of the Community United States 7840 Posts	Posted 10/07/2011 10:16 am Thanks BadThad, any photographic suggestions? I have been using an AGFA 8X Lupe with my digital camera (Digimax Cyber 530) on macro setting, placed directly on it, using evening sunlight.

BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19935 Posts	Posted 10/07/2011 4:03 pm Only suggestion, ditch the sun and buy a full spectrum desklamp with a good reticulating arm. Why do you use a loupe if you have a macro mode? If possible, use a little optical zoom to keep the camera away from the coin (so you don't block the light). Lincoln Cent Lover!

oih82w8 Pillar of the Community United States 7840 Posts	Posted 10/07/2011 4:26 pm My hands are pretty shaky at times, and I use the lupe to rest my camera on for stability. I probably ought to break down and get a decent camera for my copy stand. I find myself in the pictures (there's waldo) when I try to free hand it alot, especially reflections in the slab. Thanks!

BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19935 Posts	Posted 10/07/2011 5:35 pm If you can find a used one, I like my Canon SD700IS. Plenty of resolution for coins, image stablization and it lets you use optical zoom (up to 4x) in macro mode. I looked about a year ago and saw some used ones in the $70-100 range. I also have a newer SD880IS but it won't zoom in macro mode, so I don't use it for coins even though, technically, it's a better camera. On that cam, if I want to zoom, I have to put it in regular mode, zoom and then switch to macro mode where the zoom stays locked. I HATE IT! lol Lincoln Cent Lover!

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 10/07/2011 5:55 pm You all know I am not good at grading but here I go. I am going to say it's a 68. O.K. you all can stop laughing at me now John1 Report this Post to the Staff
hesgut Pillar of the Community 1028 Posts	Posted 10/07/2011 6:21 pm The pics are too dark to determine how many minor imperfections there are and to observe how good the strike is. It does appear to be an SMS coin and you said NGC, so I'll go MS-67 as well. PCGS would have been tougher on this one IMO with an MS-66. Report this Post to the Staff
TNG Bedrock of the Community United States 10284 Posts	Posted 10/07/2011 6:29 pm I am not convinced it is a special mint set specimen but I think it is an unusually well struck full step MS67 nickel. A dandy I must say! Report this Post to the Staff
hesgut Pillar of the Community 1028 Posts	Posted 10/07/2011 6:41 pm Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think NGC ever certified a full step 1967 nickel that wasn't SMS. Then again, the pic isn't good enough to confirm FS Report this Post to the Staff
