Here's pics of my latest: [IMG] [IMG] BTW the Bridgeport commem is my current nomination for worst design of the early commems.
Lookin' good.
Nice images. Consider trying a non-reflective black or dark grey background. Also try your lighting direction from 10 o'clock.
Take time to plan how you'd like your collection to grow. Of course you have to try to take into account a prediction about the size of your...
Instead of trying to re-invent the wheel this pretty much parallels my thinking: http://www.acoin.com/answerwizard/answerwizardcull.html...
There was a coin in the picture? Missed it. I'll have to back and check again. And again ... and again ... and again ... and again .........
I'm on the other end of the age scale. I'm 68 and look ... well, like something :( Barring difficulties I will be there at my usual time, 10AM...
I'm trying to slow my buying down so that I can save up for the Baltimore Whitman show in mid-June. MFD already has one IHC set aside for me and...

Personally I always go with the value for the higher grade. Remember, it will be insured for the value you state. It may cost you a few extra...
