    Beautiful coins green, these are the things I am thinking of tackling, classic commems and franklins. Definitely envying your commems right now!

    Thanks guys. Attendance was down from last years show, but then again I was there early and it was a rainy day. I bugged out of there at 10:30 so things could have picked up after I left. And yes, I did run into Frank (Treashunt). It's an education to watch him at work....Overton in one hand, Loupe in the other. :)

    I also got there early and it wasn't crowded.
    Around 11:30/12:00 it picked up a lot.

    Nice looking coins!!! What is the going rate on these? I only have the D-Day coin and it was given to me.

    Heck 'Geezer, I can never remember, and right now I'm away from the devilish little unit. It's a Cannon point and shoot with macro capability and it does seem to get fairly good results, but by no means does it approach what some of the folks produce on this forum. Here's a pic of the little devil......:)

    Great looking commems Ken! I've always wanted to get one of those Vietnam memorial commems to give to my dad.

    "The Wall' is humbling Guy. I've wanted that coin for quite some time and I never came across it till today at the show in the form of this '94 Mint packaged set.......

    The Prisoner of War and Vietnam Vets coins I've seen go in the neighborhood of $50 a piece. Much less for the Women in Military service. $26.85 is the current melt value for these 'silvers' and I paid a small premium over that........

    That was a complete three coin set correct? I purchased mine about three years ago. One of mine is starting to show light spotting. The airtite doesn't seal well.

    Correct.

    I'm more interested in finding out what you use to edit the pictures to get the black background and reflection effect.

    I almost bought that set. It's a beauty.
