I wanted the format for all coins to be sized the same (personal preference). If I post a half dollar or dollar coin, you would see the background...
Congratulations on your results. Certainly something anyone would be proud to have. Now the (possible) wet blanket. I saw nothing that said you...
Actually the main reason was, if you make a large image of a small coin it REALLY looks ugly. I wanted the viewers to see approximately what they...
I haven't gotten into analyzing the coin yet, although I agree the one that looks like a headband is rather prominent. I was thinking about what...
Nope, just what is the meaning of "SCRATCHED".
A type set is a group of coins of each design and major variety. You use one coin to represent all the others like it. A good example would be...
In case you don't remember, "ANACS: What Does It Mean #1" was a question about the meaning of "MS-60/DETAILS" on an ANACS slab. Question #2 is,...

Excel is probably your ONLY choice if you want to collect world coins. If you know Access, that would work also BUT if you don't already know it,...
My digital camera is only 3.2 Mpixels. But it does have macro capability. It's a Nikon Coolpix 995. And I use 2 lights, both OTT-LITEs with...
I finally got out of the coin budget hole so I can spend a bit now. Trouble is, I seem to be able to spend it faster than I can earn it.
To the best of my knowledge the US doesn't strike specimen coins. Patterns, yes. Trials, yes. But I don't know of any specimens. And particularly...
Here's my latest goodie. Got it on eBay. Capped Bust half dimes are a Level 2 collection for me (mid priority). [IMG]
With only a few exceptions, I notice you don't mention grades. That's okay. As I said before you define a "set" however you wish. For instance,...
Although generally not to the same degree as a type set, a set can be whatever you want. Your coins; your interest; your money. You make the...
