[QUOTE="Jwt708, post: 2257829, member: 32619"]Well I got today off and spent it coining. I needed to update my catalog and get my coins labeled with their own special JWT number. Going through my collection I saw a couple coins that I haven't really had a chance to post and I feel like they need a little love. First up are my newest photos. They work but I'm not super proud of them. At least I got the background correct.
