    I like how these giveaways have started several friendships. Not just between me and the winners, but between the other participants as well.

    Love those. I looked that shipwreck up when I first saw that clump you had. Very cool.

    I'd happily trade you anything on that list for that Aachen coin! ;)

    I'd give anything if they would change the obv./rev. of both the ASE and
    AGE. After 30+ years , give it a rest. How 'bout using the Std Lib. quarter
    or Merc design. How 'bout some of the U.S. patterns ie. School Girl,
    Amazonian or others. Just change them out every couple of years. I get
    tired of seeing the same old designs every year. It has worked for other
    countries, we should do the same. End of rant. Sorry LM.

    Nah, I tend to agree. I’m not a big fan of recycling old designs anyway. Bring something new and original, I say. Or at least go with unadopted pattern designs, as you suggest. My feelings on the Walker half reboot on the ASE, the Buffalo design on the gold Buffaloes, or the Saint-Gaudens design on the AGE is, “Meh. Been there, done that. *Yawn*”

    Our neighbors to the North have been much more innovative and creative with their coinage.

    I guess I'm a bit confused. Do I have to send you my entry, and the other coin related item included?

    Its frustraing that I dont Know/Have a better technique to capture some of these things. I see some images around here and theyre flawless. I'm like "now how do they get it like that?"

    The answer in my case up to now has been, “hire the professionals to do it”. But I’m hoping to improve my own game a bit. New iPhone with nicer camera. Practice, soon...

    Just finished reading the thread re: Wildwinds, posted by @cmezner, which was responded to by @dougsmit with a link to an interview with Dane (Wildwinds). What a fascinating read about Dane!!!! Thanks Doug!

    Btw LordM, when I first opened this thread, until I read the fine print, I thought the giveaway was a choice of either Lucy or the ball. :smuggrin::Do_O
