1894 IHC ??

Dick · Expert Member

Hi Ed, the first '60 is the better of the two. The '62 has a deep gouge, or cut running vertuically. It actually ruined the coin, but it is a date, so it will keep it's place. There aerwe others that barely make it, but like I said, it is another date.
BTW, the "photo studio" arrived today. Big dal. I have essencially the sasme thing, but with greater ranfe, (vertically), but it id better made. I think it might do the job. I'm thinking of using the larger picture, and cropping for the end result. It might make better images. Time will tell. What ever it takes.

Kurt, I don't understand whty the emails are not getting thru.
Anyway, here is the second three, from the same bunch:

All these shots were made with the only changes being the actual coins. I am not sure if there is one RPD in these, or not. I think I might have seen one, but will havere to re-check the flips. The one will shaw having been opened. I checked, and it is a FE, with the second "8" a possible "8W".

Set three of the bunch:

The worst of the lot.1885

They are not in the order that I have in the notebook. Also, all were shot thru the flips.

Might be a good one for some close ups of LIBERTY and the date.
There's 2 possible nice DDOs on LIBERTY (if enough of it still shows) and a nice RPM and the open and closed 3 types.

Dick · Expert Member

Ed, I don't believe these will qualify for candudates for the DDO's. I'm not sure about the open ,and closed threes. I naver have been able to tell the differenve in them. Not without an overlay. fancy fives, yes, those I see, and can tell the difference.
Now that thw major jobs are done, on the "honey-do" list, maybe I'll be able to get bak into the swing of coins, and the nice things about them!

Dick,

Do try some close ups of the LIBERTY and date. I think it has enough meat on it that if it was a DDO it will still show.
LOL... if it is I'd hate for it not to be noticed Smile

Dick · Expert Member

Ed, Are you referring to the '75? If so, I'll pull it from the flip, and do a number on it.
BTW, I pulled the 1875, and am checking it. Most interesting....RPD, possoble DDO, and DDR, as well. Pictures later.

Funny how there are a lot more RPDs for just 1875 than 1860-62. The 1870-80s were more interesting for RPDs and MPDs.

Dick, thanks for those pics! Very Happy

I took a close look, but did not spot anything.

Dick · Expert Member

I just finished shooting some views of the 1875, but since I had also removed the light from the scope, I had to use other lighting, and it is too dark. I did mount the camera on the scope, and it seems to work okay. After I put the light back on, I'll shoot the coin again, and post the images. I think there might be an A-9, but not sure. The RPD, I thought, was a single "s, but I see the "8" is also S. It could be the small 18/18 over the large 19.. There is doubling on the right wreath, that at first I thought was MD, but MD tends to go one direction only, and the "doubling follows the curvature of the wreath. The tip, next to the shield has fairly clear, indications, but it didn't show on the images I took tonight. tomorrow will be different.

Dick,

LOL... I thought it was a 73, now I can see it's a 75.
I was thinking 73.

Dick · Expert Member

ED, Welcome to my world! It did serve a purpose, in that I pulled the coin out of the flip, and found the RPD. So, net gain! I have to put muy scope back together, (lighting), so I can get better lighting. I'll let you know how it goes, tomorrow. Regards,

11/10/2009: Scope back together. Scope is fine, the problem is that the pole for the copy/ shhooting stand, is so flimsy, that I can't use it! It "sags, of it's own weight, with the camera in place. I am pondering the situation.
I will have some new IHC images, later this week, or maybe monday. One is a '72., along with most of the 70's. Meantime, I could send some more of the ones that I last received.

Here are three more. (Hopefully, they are not dupes). I can't see the dartes, but going by groups of three, I should not post any.

Those are all very nice circulated pieces. No problems at all. Very refreshing to see them.

Dick · Expert Member

GarryN, I agree. They are nice. I have found one RPD, so far in this bunch. I can't say the same about an order of FE's which I was told that thety were 'problem coins. They are just what he said, and so I have looked farther afield, for other FE/IHC coins which will give me a chance to find the ROPD's . MPD's, "that is a horse of a different color"! I can't see the denticals very well, much less see a mis-placed digit, in them!
