Winner, Winner Chicken Dinner!!! :shame: IMO, it's a nice coin, C. Maybe you'll bring it to brunch. ;)
A good question. My understanding is that it was done to make them easier to photograph because casts are all one color plus the front and back...
YES!! I totally agree, Doug! I have often wondered where all of those amazing casts ended up from early to mid 20th century auctions....
I remember my 10th coin. [ATTACH]
I totally disagree! I think you did a great job. It look like you didn't take them down to bare metal, which is commendable. Well done!

Sorry Doug, but I think that's equivalent to saying that you won't visit the Colosseum because the Italian government hates you as a Roman coin...
I represent that comment! I went to visit a castle and ended up buying a 500 year old Katana in Kyoto over the Summer. It looks fabulous in my...
I actually used one of their starter templates that came with the program. It was an inventory management and catalogue template so it was set up...
