    Thanks.

    How about now, on that image?

    I could see it, but only when I was logged in. I tried logging off to look at it and maybe see what you were seeing, and sure enough, it was bad. So I've uploaded it properly now, hopefully, and you'll be able to see it.

    I'm grateful that you pointed that out.

    Awesome collection, and great representation of coins from around the world throughout history. Did Ancient Joe image all of these for you?

    No, @AncientJoe did help me with quite a few of these, as well as inspire me to adopt that "shadowbox" template (imitation being the sincerest form of flattery, hopefully). But more recently I've had other people with the skills and software step in to help me, because I know Ancient Joe is a busy man and I did not want to be continuously hounding him to help me with my newer additions.

    Oh - I forgot to post this.

    Deacon Ray has been helping me with graphics lately. He did the new banners you see above, for which I am quite grateful.

    But he was just improvising and playing around with Photoshop when he created the image below. I didn't ask him to do this one, but he must have been having some fun. Very creative, don't you think? I was quite impressed.

    I wish my actual box was gold rather than aluminum! :p

    Thanks again @Deacon Ray.

    This one's going to become my desktop wallpaper at work.

    Hmm. It's showing for me? Did I upload the attachment incorrectly?

    Let's try again.

    PS- I like how @Deacon Ray put my virtual golden box in a dewy field of clover, too. For some reason, it makes that image appeal all the more to me.

    Is quite the digital artiste, our good Deacon.

    Worked this time... DROOLING... Dude... that is awesome. A true "pirates treasure"
    Unfortunately for you, I just happen to be a pirate.;)
    Seriously though, wow is that ever cool. "Electric" for sure.

    The word I use to describe this collection is eclectic, but hey, I like "electric" for an adjective, too! :)

    They certainly look similar at a glance, and I've caught myself saying "electric" a time or two, as well! :p

    Oops. Auto-complete to blame. I actually haven't always read that wrong, as far as you know.o_O
    Or... I intentionally spelled it that way.;)
    Whatever, just an awesome display of gorgeous coins.:)

    I've had much more embarrassing autocorrect flubs, and actually have mixed the two words up!

    An awesome array of coinage, no matter how you spell it. :)
