Here you go Bone. I think it would grade XF. The coin still has some luster, and the detail is pretty nice. Of course there isn't any detail on...
Well the coin came today!!! It is a really, really cool Lamination! Like Mark said the other day---differnet lighting and, pic's can show things...
It sounds like your coins might be getting PVC on them. You said it was like a light film. I would suggest going online to someplace like JP's, or...
Very Nice Rickie!!! Are you planing on completing it or leaving the holes alone? Speedy

I don't even like their HTML editor---it seems to add to much extra junk in there. When I started designing sites I just did straight HTML, and I...
A few comments on the last post. Front Page has, and always will, some problems. Mostly with holes that can be bad for the sever. I won't allow...
I think it is a shadow from the lighting source. That is why I asked if he could get pic's with the lighting pointing different directions. Speedy
