It's a great hobby. There is always something to do and it don't have to cost a lot. Getting the young folks to join in is really tough....
I see many proofs with great color but not all that many MS coins. Post some if you wish. [IMG] [IMG]
I don't think I would buy that one. The tape looks wrong. I'm thinking it has been opened several times over the years.
At this point I don't see much more that can be done. If it were mine I would remove the olive oil and leave the coin on my desk.
I was first thinking 63 but the image makes it look like it has dirt built up in the lettering.
That's really cool. I hope they charged him with possession of stolen property and not just theft. From what you describe he could beat the theft...
There was a table set up at the last Fun show with the Dino-Lite brand (BigC link above). I was shocked at the quality of the images they were...

Now Ruben, this is just not right. I worked really, really hard to earn last place but didn't get it. I even used paid for software and still...
As of now this is my favorite but it seems to change often. [IMG]
Great job Fish.:thumb:
Really nice but there is a bit too much background. The images of the coin don't need to be larger but they are half the size of the entire image.
One thing that bothers me is that the blue color covers all of the obverse and just seems too even. It just seems strange on a Buff. This is the...
I actually believe the Buff. I posted is AT. I would love to be wrong but the color is a bit strange IMO.
Having a copy stand is a great way to take coin images. I bought just the 36'' post from B&H Photo and made the base to fit the table I was using....
