Great pick ups. the Isle of Man is often found well worn as it was a curiosity. The William III is extra nice as it has the extra letter so 9...
I took an image of my SS Central America "pinch of gold" @Joshua Lemons. I'm sure that "Finest known" would have been selling these at IMEX. The...

Going back to the comment made by @PaddyB about eye appeal. Here are mine but not with the best of photography but I hope to make a point about...
