[QUOTE="Billy Kingsley, post: 711042, member: 19456"]I've always (in perspective, I have only been trying since last year!) been foiled by coin pictures. I just could not get them to come out right!

(Not to brag...check out my website for my work) But coins have always foiled me. Until now. Let's see what you think!
