I just posted images I found on an old CD my assistant made
for me a few years ago. Thought I'd like to share them here
as well [ I originally posted them ATS ] but its alot easier now
just to post this Link to the Early Commems

Very nice set of commemoratives you have there!

Wow, a 64 Lafayette and a 64 Hawaian-- you weren't messing around! Nice set!

That's a nice commem set. Your comments ATS are exactly right about the tough issues to find nice-Arkansas and Washington-Carvers. You did a good job, as coins that often don't have much luster appear to have nice luster from your images. Thanks for sharing.

Especially in the old holder.

Wow, was expecting to see a nice 50 coin set, wasn't expecting a really nice 144-piece set!! Very cool!

Mike - I have the two Norse Medals imaged as well... 146 ...
and I have not had the Gold Early Commems imaged - yet.

Nor have I had the Modern Commems holdered as yet either.

Bruce - Nice hearing from you ! Hope all's well !!

<< <i>Nice looking coins.... but I don't see any color?...

>>

Newest set will have more color ...

I wanted a blast white collection with
all the luster the coin could muster...
and I got it. The Hawaiian looks a bit
out of place as its got a tad too much
toning.

Quite a few coins in the 1st set have
rim toning and have a touch of light
tinting.

my images in a better format and here are

The rest of the images...

My friend who's been creating a Virtual Album for me has completed his task.
It was a monumental job and I am more than pleased with the results. I only
wish I had hired a professional photographer - ie: BluVette62 or MessyDesk.

I hope you've all enjoyed the images.

... and the two Norse Medals to round out the set...

Very

Matched set.

I know that took alot of time and money.

breakdown · April 23, 2011 1:14AM

Wow, what a nice matching set -- a lot of stories along the way I am sure. Thanks for sharing!

MFH · April 23, 2011 4:33AM

Breakdown - it was a pleasure to look at your Walkers. Just a fantastic set !!

Thanks to all for the kind words.
