I achieved my primary “bucket list” goal in the fall of 2013, with the help and contributions of many friends. Since then, any remaining...

That did not happen (sorry), but the package is shipped now, and I provided a tracking link in our private conversation. I look forward to...
Splendid! Thanks for the update!
Thanks for the update (not to mention your donorship in the first place). :)
To do a full Type set along Dansco 7070 lines, you’d almost have to “cheat” with some of the 20th century types, and drill your own. Which kind...

Good question. The primary allure of a shipwreck pedigree is knowing exactly which ship the coin(s) sank on. I mean, it’s all about the story,...
I’ll take it. That’s better than a Quirky Nude Dancing Chihuahua, I reckon.
Or, if you’ve got the photo editing skills, you could go the “shadowbox” route, with fake shadows and reflections. These templates look great,...
That was going to be my suggestion, as that is what I use myself. Some coins stand out better against a dark background. Others against a...
