I tried it. No coin dealers near me. *sigh* I'm in a "numismatic desert"!
Agreed. BTW, @DBinSV - I like the squirrelly avatar. :beaver:
@Acidic_Freakz - post your own separate thread about it with pictures, so people will be able to help you. Information on your note's date,...
Easy on the sticky posts. LOL. ;) But yeah, I don't see an issue if it's educational. (I only had a very fast peek at it.)
If your site is noncommercial, then I personally don't see an issue with posting a link to it in one of the topical forums. Self-promotion for...
