Consider using a non-reflective dark background when you image your coins. I use a piece of dark grey construction paper like kids in elementary...
Here's my 1864 Small Motto: [IMG]
I liked the business strike 2-cent set because it is short. Only 10 coins if you don't count the 1867 Doubled Die. That helped keep the price down...
More people use Adobe Photoshop, generally the Elements subset. But I was after a bit more geometrics than Photoshop had, so I went with PaintShop...
Nope, at my age it's WAY past time that I take trips like that anymore. Well, not quite. The wife and I did Antarctica in March a year ago. But...
My wife bought a Nikon D300 and I bought a AF-S Micro Nikkor 60mm f2.8 G ED for it for my use (Nikon uses the term "Micro" which is the same as...
If you haven't gotten one already, seriously consider getting a copy of Numismatic Photography by Mark Goodman. And do it BEFORE you start...
Excellent. A coin you can be well proud of.
Yes, a great type set coin. Nice going. I like XF and AU for the older coins. Plenty of detail but at a fraction of the MS prices. Mine is an...
Picture is too small. I can't quite make out the date. Is it an 1873? If so, that would make it a proof coin. Open or Closed 3. Anyway, if it...
No, I was ESSA Weather Bureau. That was before they renamed it NOAA. It was a contract job with the Gov't. Four of us went to Pole. I was...
The greysheet make no mention of differences at all. The Red Book sort of treats it like a subset of Variety 2. Coin Values definitely mentions...
Back when I was at Pole Station (Nov 68-Feb 69) there was no such thing as ATMs. In fact there was no such things as computers. And that applied...
I agree with you. The "apparent" breast is just from wear. And cleaning! Good coin to stay away from. That seller has set himself up for a big fat...
No one "owns" Antarctica. There are a lot of territorial claims but they were set aside by the Antarctic Treaty back in 1958(?) during IGY....
Good eye. I concur.
What a great coin. It's NOT on my wantlist. It's on my wishlist, the list of "coins I'd love to have but it won't happen unless I win the...
I finally got myself a new edition of the VAM encyclopedia. I decided to take some time today and ID some VAMs. I started with a reasonable coin...
VERY appealing coin. And that comment comes from someone who doesn't particularly care for toned coins. I used to have a 1937 set from the...
I'm going to suggest that the problem in the MM area is because of someone trying to add/change/delete it. Since doing such to a coin this...
Separate names with a comma.
