For my birth year set I'm trying to find sellers that deal in coins of Peru. Specifically I'm after varieties of 1 and 2 centavos coins from 1941....
Since I go for die varieties/die marriages of Capped Bust or earlier coins, I need sharp images to ID the PUPs. Most of my 3+ figure coins come...
Out of focus enough that I wouldn't bid/buy it IF I were collecting Bust dimes.
Someone mentioned acetone is not good for copper. That may be true. I recall a copper coin that I left in acetone for a while (days). When I...
Hmmm, having just put those 9 coins into 2x2's I think it's a LOT of work -- and not particularly neat. I'll order a bunch of non-PVC 2-pocket...
Oh, and I haven't added the time to put the coins back into 2x2's and labeling them.
9 coins (Great Britain business strikes) Total Time - 157 minutes (2.6 hours) Average Time/Coin - 17½ minutes/coin Steps: 1 - Remove coins from...
And if commercial acetone isn't REALLY 100% as stated on the container I suspect the FDA (or whoever) has approved the slight water(?) content is...

Once I have the 600 dpi edited images I have the process of putting them together pretty much figured out. I did these 5 coins in about 1½ hrs...
This is what I meant by "relative size". [IMG] Now, instead of putting the all together in one image, I want to get the same aspect ratio when I...
Ah ha!!! Not what I thought would happen. The "relative size" aspect didn't work. It's something to do with the way the images are treated in...
I've got my (there's two that I don't have yet) Australian set completed. Remember, these are my coins and are not pristine examples. All coins...
I've got a coin coming from Finland. It hasn't passed its due date so no concern -- yet. And it's inexpensive, but one I've been after for a few...
For Snow-4 there are 4 factors involving the date area: -- the top of the 9 (your coin looks correct) -- minor repunching on the 1 and second 8 (I...
The 5th and 6th images are showing a lot of hairlines. I find that disturbing.
Another fly in the ointment; coins are NOT the same size. [IMG] Rats, and I just noticed another error I made. The spacing on the lower label.
Separate names with a comma.
