  I truely appreciate the artistry of the design on the Roanoke commemorative. Add some nice original, colorful toning and lookout!
  
  This is great series of threads that LeeG has put together. I've learned more about classic commems from these threads than anywhere else! You should consider publishing this material in some sort of coffee table book. I know I'd buy it!
  
  Here is an example that I particularly like (Hope you don't mind me posting this one Lee):

  Thanks again Lee for the very cool episode in one of my favorite series! Love those ship coins and this is a nice one. Small ships, but the overall design is really cool.
