This post is just to bump the thread back to the top, so it will be back above all the closed giveaways.
It takes a little while to learn to use Lunapic, but I've grown to really like it. It's worth fiddling around with to learn a bit. Quite useful.
As mentioned, that is an aftermarket set put together outside of the mint, and the coins are either plated with something (chromed, perhaps), or...
Lunapic is also good, also free, and no download necessary. You can edit online with it, then save the pic.
Neat idea. I like your low-grade $3 gold piece. It's a cool early S-mint, too. That's a nice type to have, in any condition. The only...
Here is a “kitten triangle” in the bed, before I left for work tonight. (Elvis, Mork, and Mindy). [ATTACH] Not seen in the photo are the two...

Many of the older ones here will not have caught that song reference in the title. I, however, now have it fully embedded as an earworm- merely...
Impressive that you're getting such early ones.
If by "same thing" you mean a clad Washington quarter worth face value, yes.
The medieval coin looks to be continental European rather than English. Maybe 13th-14th century, would be my wild guess. That appears to be a...
Indeed, multiple threads about the same coin(s) are a no-no. I have merged them all together here, in the Ancients thread, which is why there is...
This post (#56) is an entry for MJwags on Collectors Universe. I was going to do a tandem giveaway over there (another pick off this list of...
My apologies for prematurely locking this thread to replies. I usually try to leave them open long enough for the giveaway recipients to post...
Sorry! Bison! ;) (Actually, I guess they finally did get called bison on the 2005 Westward Journey nickels.)
He certainly looks less crotchety there.
